A group that has different registered modules can behave as models, thus considering each module in the group as a model option and allowing it to be changed through the Models menu in the toolbar.
This structure is used when a module has as an aggregate an item that can have different shapes, and each shape can be considered a model option.
In this way, we will be transforming the group of modules into models and adding a group to the item.
The main applications of Models Formats are doors and handles. Example: Each counter can have each type of aggregate door. So that it is not necessary to add door to door, a door is added and, in the door register, the group of door formats models is added.
The registration of Models Formats always occurs through the registration of modules.
