Getting ModelBuilder¶

Downloading ModelBuilder¶

ModelBuilder can be downloaded from the Official Site.

Note

ModelBuilder v4 is currently in development, but nightly builds are available.

Building ModelBuilder from Source¶

Because ModelBuilder has a lot of dependencies such as opencv, paraview, qt4, smtk and so on, we separate the code base into CMB-SuperBuild, and CMB, where the former contains everything involved and the latter only contains ModelBuilder itself. Either way the user needs to checkout the CMB-SuperBuild repository first. In CMB-SuperBuild, ModelBuilder can be built in two different modes: developer mode and release mode. If configured in the developer mode, all the dependencies of ModelBuilder will be built, and a the config file “cmb-Developer-Config.cmake” will generated. The user should checkout the CMB repository outside the CMB-SuperBuild and build ModelBuilder itself. Doing so separates ModelBuilder and its dependencies and enables the user to rebuild ModelBuilder easily. If configured in the release mode, ModelBuilder itself as well as everything it needs will be built, there is no need to checkout CMB repository.
