Hi Ben,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

To update model please use the BeginUpdate() and EndUpdate methods.

[C#]

this.diagram1.Model.BeginUpdate();

//Some code here

this.diagram1.Model.EndUpdate();

Please try this and let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Melba

Hi Ben,

You can create a node and append it to two different models. Please refer to the following sample which illustrates this:

Please have a look at the above sample and if still the issue exists, could you please try reproducing in the above sample and send us the modified sample so that we could sort out the cause of the issue and provide you a solution?

Thanks,
Melba

Hi Ben,

We regret for the delayed response.

I am able to see this issue. But this issue can be resolved by using AttachModel method. When you attach a new model, only the newModel is set to view.Model. So it renders only the nodes. The newModel is not set to Controller.Model. So you can't interact with the nodes. Because all the interactive functionalities (Select, move, rotate, resize) are integrated into the DiagramController. If you want to interact with the nodes, then you have to assign the attached model to Controller.Model. But Controller.Model is read-only. So you need to derive DiagramController and hide the Model property and then you can write the set accessor. Please refer to the following code snippet:

  private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.newdiagram.Model.BeginUpdate();
            if (this.newdiagram.Controller.Model == model1)
            {
                this.newdiagram.AttachModel(model2);
                ((CustomDiagramController)this.newdiagram.Controller).Model = this.model2;
            }
            if (this.newdiagram.Controller.Model == model2)
            {
                this.newdiagram.AttachModel(model2);
                ((CustomDiagramController)this.newdiagram.Controller).Model = this.model1;
            }

          this.newdiagram.Model.EndUpdate();

            this.newdiagram.Refresh();
        }

Please refer to the sample in the following link which illustrates this:

Please let me know if this helps.
