 # Class AbstractBuilderModel

 Last update: 19.06.2026 

Namespace: [Phoenix.ComponentPlugInSDK.Models](Phoenix.ComponentPlugInSDK.Models.md)  
Assembly: Phoenix.ComponentPlugInSDK.dll

Abstract base class for all model objects from MVVM for Builder UI implementations. Provides common functionality for handling a set of variables and conversions to/from PHXVariable.

```csharp
public abstract class AbstractBuilderModel : AbstractDisposable, IBuilderUIModel, IDisposable


```
