Model Name
The display name for the generated semantic model. Determines the <Name>.SemanticModel output folder name and the .platform display name. A project scoped value overrides the instance level value. When the setting is blank, the project name is used.
Models that use the Import value of Direct Lake Flavor are written without .platform metadata, so for them the name sets only the output folder name.
When more than one semantic model resolves to the same name, the build reports an error and writes no files for any model with that name, so their output folders cannot overwrite each other. An instance level value resolves to the same name for every project that produces a model.
When to Change This Setting
Set a project scoped value to give a model a name other than its project name. Avoid an instance level value when more than one project produces a semantic model.
