Lumerical FDTD: How to toggle “Construction group” for “::model” through script?

      For structure groups, I know I can use the command

      set("construction group", true);

      to toggle if they are a construction group or not. The model has this option through the GUI, but when I try to toggle it through the script, it gives me the error

      in set, the requested property was not found

      Is there a different command for the ::model?

      I don't think it's possible to set this for the model group through script. You can essentially make the model group a construction group by adding deleteall;to the beginning of the setup script. This you can do with script commands by extracting the model setup script as a string and appending "deleteall;\n" to the beginning:
      ´╗┐setup_script = getnamed("::model", "setup script");
      setup_script = "deleteall;\n" + setup_script;
      setnamed("::model", "setup script", setup_script);
