A modeling system and process for for computer-aided, block-based modeling involving preparation of a first block diagram (1) in a first model plane (2) that relates to a first abstraction stage, in which at least one block (3) is able to be placed in the first model plane (2) and several blocks are connectable to one another by horizontal data transfer devices for horizontally exchanging data. Further more at least one other block diagram (6) can be arranged on at least one other model plane (5) which is assigned to the first abstraction stage and which is separated from the first model plane (2), so that the first block diagram (1) of the first model plane (2) and the other block diagram (6) of the other model plane (5) form an overall block diagram (7) and that by corresponding vertical data transfer devices (8, 9) which can be arranged on a selection of at least two model planes from the first model plane (2) and the other model planes (5), a vertical exchange of data between at least two selected model planes can be produced.
