# Intellisense on models in Visual studio

## **Option 1**

**Install the full ModelsBuilder** (<https://github.com/zpqrtbnk/Zbu.ModelsBuilder>) nuget package and change the ModelsMode to Dll and then build your models in the Umbraco backoffice. This will generate a Dll that will give you intellisense.

## **Option 2**

**Create a new project in Visual Studio** that will contain your models and make it build into your web project. Change your ModelsMode to AppData and add these two settings to your web.config:

```csharp
<add key="Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.AcceptUnsafeModelsDirectory" value="true" />
<add key="Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.ModelsDirectory" value="~/../Project.Models/Models" />
```

Where the Project.Models is the name of your models project. This will generate your models into this directory and will on build generate a dll with your models.
