Define a Module

Townhouse Design

You can divide the building components to modules. A module is defined by limiting the building components belonging to the module with a line in the drawing. You can add the line in the drawing of any drawing-model pair. The module takes effect in all the drawing-model pairs to which the drawing belongs. A building component belongs to a module if its center point is inside the module line, or exactly on the module line.

Select Modeling | Zone | Define Module.
Select the points of the limiting line in the drawing.
Select Confirm.
Define the module data:
- Name - The module label (1) shown above the limiting line in the floor plan. A module must always have a name.
- Apartment label - A module can consist of several apartments. Define the limiting line separately for each flat, and enter the apartment label (2) in addition to the module name.

Note:

A panel part always belongs to the module to which the highest hierarchy level of the panel belongs. This also applies to a beam or column that is part of a beam panel, frame line or panel assembly. A beam or column belongs to the module to which the highest hierarchy level of the panel belongs, regardless of which module area the beam or column is located in.
Once you have defined the modules, the program adds the heading Module drawings to the project's document browser. See Create Module Drawings.
When you collect the materials, the information about the module in which the building component belongs, is collected to the material database. This enables creating module-specific bill of materials.
