## automodel.generate_method — control initial model generation

> This is used to build the initial model. It is usually set to `generate.transfer_xyz`, which builds the model based on the templates, but you can also set it to `generate.generate_xyz` to build it purely from the internal coordinates, or to `generate.read_xyz` to read it from a file (see section 2.2.10 for the easiest way to do this).
