took a bit of time to figure it out. i had to set the pototype index to name attribute in the instancer. name attribute to name
with this in place i had good control over my variations - created also a nice hda to have a automatic mapping see attachements

Hello,

I want to define which variant should be scattered based on an attribute noise or something similar. My problem is that I don't know which attribute the instance node uses to define the used variant per point.

looking for something like a "pscale" attrib that gets used to define the size - but in this case a "variant_model", "variant_mtl" where I define the index/name of the used variant of the prototype source.

i just stumbled across this entry. maybe someone else has the same issue as you to make the volumetric override work.
1. insert the bounding box (geometry, like a box) into the first input of the utility node
2. switch to the volumetric tab and insert the module name you want to replace
3. connect the utility to the 4th input of the building generator

this page helped me to solve this issue
