Creating an ArchiMate Standalone Element
To create a new ArchiMate Standalone element:
1. Create a new MetaClass and define it as a subtype of ArchiMate Standalone Element.
2. If necessary, define a GUIName.
3. Add GenericLocalName as a substitute for Name.
4. Add a MetaPicture with an icon and a shape for the new MetaClass.
5. Connect your new MetaClass to the "ArchiMate - ArchiMate Element Characteristics" PropertyPagePresentation.
6. Update the ArchiMate diagram setup using predefined macros. For more details, see Updating the ArchiMate diagram type setup.
If applicable, connect to the appropriate ArchiMate super-type; in this case, applicable relationships connectivity may be inherited automatically based on the generic MetaModel (e.g. passive structure elements can be accessed by behavior elements)
