Select a Detail
Select a detail you want to add to a floor plan drawing in the dialog box.
Dialog Box Options
- Detail archive / Archive
- Select the detail archive from the list. The detail archive can be located either in the project directory or the custom directory. Both directories may contain detail archives and details with the same name.
- Subset
- You can filter the details on the Detail list on the basis of a property defined in the detail database. By default, the subsets are not in use, and the dialog box field is grey. You can select the subsets to be in use by defining the keyword detail_sort_field in the BDSXX keyword group. Type a name of a field in the detail database as the value of the keyword. For example:
- Detail
- Select the detail. The detail's label and description are displayed in the list. If a detail archive and detail with the same name are found from both the project directory and the custom directory, the details in the project directory will override the others, i.e., the detail to be added is selected from the detail archive in the project directory.
- Use detail layer
- When you select the check box, the detail will be added on the layer that was defined when creating the detail. Otherwise, the detail will be added on the layer in which it was drawn.
- Drawing
- Add a detail drawing to the floor plan drawing.
- Symbol
- Add a detail as a symbol to the floor plan drawing. Select the symbol from the list. For example, the symbols included in the basic software delivery:
- Attach to component
- Click a component (door, window or another building component) to which you wish to attach the detail. The detail will have no geometry in the floor plan drawing, but you can collect the details attached to components on a detail sheet when you select Details attached to components as the type of the details to be collected.
- Detail books
- You can group details into detail books. See Edit Detail Books.
Note
- You can also select the detail to be deleted from the archive in the same dialog box. Just select the detail archive and the detail to be deleted.
