Hi community I’m working on a project, where I have imported data from Revit through a KON model and an ARK model. For the environmental data for installations, I would like to use default data from the danish building code (BR18). To have a clean LCA calculation, I would like to place these emissions under a separate “model” called _K08 VVS_. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realtimelca/original/1X/84b497404a247620c88e6fafe90a6100d1a9a34f.png) After creating the “model”, I went to Material mapping \> Type \> Create grouping and created a custom `building component type` called “Afløb”, gave it bim code 52, created a material with an area equal to the reference area of the project and assigned the default data from BR18. When refreshing the page, there are no `building component types` under the “K08 VVS” model. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realtimelca/original/1X/1a04651ab256d4c975fbfefe5b1727e9a9b0bc29.png) The data has been moved to the “arkitektur” model. Why is that? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realtimelca/original/1X/cfea051d2e7eafe3ba0f1425c8b91f4963aefbb2.png) I then thought that I would try to use the excel template instead. However, when uploading the excel file, the “K08 VVS” model isn’t available. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realtimelca/original/1X/d2c991f5602c977203c7a3cdb834bbbeca0113e9.png) Am I doing something wrong? Is the “K08 VVS” file not activated, if I don’t use the speckle stream to import data to the model? ---

Hi @MarkLabrosse Sounds like our system has had a hard time keeping up with your pace! ⚡ Is the K08 VVS model activated in the Project Settings? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realtimelca/original/1X/0f396aaffdb4725322bd73471dc6a592ebdd419b.png) If so, I think you have found a bug and we’ll try to replicate and come back to you asap. Best, Martin ---

I’m fast as lightning 🏃‍♂️⚡ 😉 Just went to Edit Project \> Speckle Connection where it looked active. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realtimelca/original/1X/2386f39902438dba80460a934348a9fcc94185a2.png) But just refreshed the page, and then it was gone 😅 Just made the VVS model from scratch again, and it seems to work now 👌 There’s not a way to move a `building component type` from one model to another yet, right? I can survive without moving it, so this function isn’t high priority in my mind. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realtimelca/original/1X/d204cac4b862a60bcc9a921d022b99bc81098a7d.png) ---

Alright, @MarkLabrosse Sounds like we’re missing a `wait async` or a validation before it closes the page. Will report to the dev team. At the moment there’s no functionality to move a building component type from one model to the other - but actually a good feature. ---

This also seems to happen in general - unrelated to which model is used - when working in material mapping and then switching back to project dashboard… I’ve experienced a few times that some of the latest mapped materials revert back to an unmapped state. ---
