As of now, while creating a new Live Model, the System Type drop down menu will display systems which you have a connection established with SAC.

If you cannot see expected System Types while creating Live Model into SAC tenant, double-check if your SAC system has any connection created to link with desired systems.

In case you have desired connections, but System Type drop down is still not displaying them, please raise a Support Case at LOD-ANA-LDC-SCA component.
