Model Builder API Fails 404

Extending Umbraco and using the API

Umbraco 8

Hi,

I have installed v8.1.3 and Umbraco ModelBuilder API from nuget

When I try generating ModelBuilder then getting 404 error on below link.

Any idea what could be the issue please?

After bit of struggle, I decided to remove Model Builder API and Model Builder Custom Tool.

Changed my web.config to below settings. We generate our ModelBuilder in a separate project with all other Models with a specific Namespace. I achieved all of them with below settings.
```
    <add key="Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.Enable" value="true" />
    <add key="Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.ModelsMode" value="AppData" />
    <add key="Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.ModelsDirectory" value="~/../Training.Web.Umbraco.Models/UmbracoModels/" />
    <add key="Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.AcceptUnsafeModelsDirectory" value="true" />
    <add key="Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.ModelsNamespace" value="Training.Web.Umbraco.Models.UmbracoModels" />
```
Now, I think this is probably better approach as I did faced few issues with new releases of Model Builder API and Model Builder Custom Tool as it was not always 100% sync.

Hi Shaishav,

Something to be aware of, the Models Builder Custom Tool extension has been deprecated in favour of Umbraco ModelsBuilder Extension. This could be why you are having issues with the API mode, just food for thought.
