Building & Running Models

Building a Model

Using the visual Model Builder canvas.

The Model Builder is a drag-and-drop canvas: add constructs, assign indicators from your imported dataset to each one, mark each construct as reflective (Mode A) or formative (Mode B), and draw structural paths between constructs.

The inner weighting scheme (path, centroid, or factor) can be set per model from the model settings panel -- path weighting is the default and the most common choice in applied PLS-SEM research.

Models are saved as part of the project and can be reused across multiple analysis runs without rebuilding them.
