```lua
bool engineSetModelDrawable(string|element model, element drawable [, int priority = 0])

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `model` | `string\|element` | The model's name, or a `model` element from `engineCreateModel`. |
| `drawable` | `element` | A `drawable` element from `engineLoadDrawable`. |
| `priority` | `int` | Among several drawables given to the same model, the highest priority answers; among equals, the newest. *(default: `0`)* |
