minimodelbuilder's Issues

Selecting other objects outside the created minimodel

Hi m-kovalsky,

After creating a minimodel cube, it is not possible to add other not selected objects. To achieve this, we have to redo the selection and creation of the minimodel cube.

I'v done a little modification and set all the objects from the model on false first and then add the selected objects in the export.
Is there another way to solve this?

Maybe I can create a pull request for this?

kind regards,
marioc

Deselected columns are included when generating the mini model from script

Hi,

I want to make a mini model through the interface, and I select only a subset of columns from a certain table. In the model, this is correct, only the selected columns are included in the perspective.

However, the generated script includes Model.Tables["table name"].InPerspective[perspName] = true;, followed by a statement for each included column. However, the entire table seems to be added to the perspective due to this first statement, including the deselected columns. So when I try to recreate the mini model using the script, it differs from the mini model that was created through the interface, since it includes too many columns.

Is this the expected behaviour? Is there a way to bypass this, or am I overlooking a step to fix this?

A second issue is the fact that hidden columns don't show up in step 1 in the interface, meaning I can't choose to include/exclude these in the mini model, and they seem to be added automatically via the script (due to the problem described earlier), or excluded automatically through the interface.

Is there a way to avoid this, or should I add/remove them to/from the perspective manually using a script?

Many thanks,
Eva

Tabular Editor 3 Support?

I really like the Mini Model builder (used with TE2) but get script errors when attempting to use this in Tabular Editor 3. Is there any Tabular Editor 3 support for this currently, and if not is any planned? Thanks.
