Hi,
I'd like to use many meta-models inside an Xpand generation template which i use calling the xpandfacade evaluate method.
I have two problems :
1) How do I use evaluate with multiple meta-models (since there's only one single slot for model) ?
2) What's the correct syntax inside the template for invoking and accessing the two meta-models ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

there two ways to do this:

(1) Adding models to a list

<<DEFINE main FOR List[Object]>>
<<ENDDEFINE>>

the disadvantage is that you have to splitup / typecast the list yourself e.g. by using typeselect.

(2) Passing the second model as Parameter

<<DEFINE main(Model2 model2) FOR Model>>
<<ENDDEFINE>>

General: what you do within the defines depends on what you want to reach.

Regards,
Christian
