Important: Syside Modeler's features are a superset of Editor's. If you have Modeler installed, you don't need this extension - uninstall or disable Syside Editor to avoid conflicts.

Language Features

Model Validation

Catch errors early with real-time diagnostics for syntax errors, type mismatches, and constraint violations.

Semantic Highlighting

Quickly identify element types and model structure through visual styling based on semantic meaning.

Model Navigation

Navigate your model efficiently by jumping to definitions, finding references, and traversing specialization hierarchies across files.

Documentation on Hover

Access element documentation, type information, and metadata instantly without leaving your current context.

Renaming

Rename elements safely across your entire workspace with automatic updates to all references.

Document Outline

Navigate quickly to any element using a hierarchical tree view that provides structural overview of the currently opened document.

References

Understand the impact of changes by finding all locations where an element is referenced.

Folding

Improve readability by collapsing and expanding sections based on syntactic structure.

Auto-completion

Write SysML v2 code faster with context-aware suggestions for keywords, element names, and qualified references.

Auto-formatting

Maintain consistent code style with automatic indentation, spacing, and alignment.

Inlay Hints [Modeler]

Display inferred types, multiplicities, and redefined features as inline annotations alongside your code.

Tables [Modeler]

Browse and edit your model in spreadsheet-like views.

Edit Model in Table View

Modify attributes, statuses, and relationships directly in the table — every edit is written back to the SysML source automatically.

Add Requirements

Author new requirement definitions and usages from a guided dialog.

Matrix Views

Trace relationships between model elements in a matrix grid.

Diagrams [Modeler]

Interactive Tree View

Explore model structure through an interactive tree view that displays model elements and their relationships.

Export Diagram

Export visualizations to multiple formats including PNG, SVG, and PDF.

Show Source Code

Jump directly from any diagram element to its corresponding definition in the text editor.

Navigate Links

Trace relationships between elements by following connection paths through the diagram.

Search Diagram

Locate elements quickly by searching for names, with matching results highlighted in the visualization.
