ArchiMate 3.0 models are preferably created or updated through standard ArchiMate® viewpoint model types or through custom ArchiMate® viewpoint model types that have been selected for your organization. The main model type for ArchiMate® 3.0 is ArchiMate model (3.0). Each viewpoint contains a subset of elements and relationships from the ArchiMate® metamodel and is geared for a particular audience. When opening an ArchiMate® viewpoint model type in ARIS, only relevant ArchiMate® elements are displayed in the Symbols bar.
