- Detail
- A unique detail label, which can consist of letters and numbers. Maximum length 16 characters. You can also add the label into the detail's drawing file, see Draw a Detail.
- Display label
- The detail's label in plain language. When you add the detail to the floor plan, you can select a symbol as its presentation method, and select the option SYM_DISPLAYID from the list. In this case, the detail's display label is shown on the floor plan. You can also add the display label into the detail's drawing file, see Draw a Detail.
- Description
- The description of the detail in default language. When you add the detail to the floor plan, the description is displayed in the list from which you can select the detail to be added.
- Description [language]
- If you need multilingual details, type the detail descriptions in other languages in their own text fields. Multilingual description texts can be utilized, when the detail archive is in the DesignStream system.
- Scale
- Enter the scale to be used when generating detail sheets. Enter the scale in the 1/x format.
- Layer
- Enter the number of the layer (0-255) to be used when adding the detail to the project's floor plan drawing with the property Use detail layer selected.
- File

- Detail archive
- Enter the name of the archive folder to which the detail is to be added. You can type the name of the folder in the field, or select an existing folder from the list. If the archive folder does not exist, the program will create it automatically.
- Sheet program
- You can also create a detail of a DWG, DOC or PDF file, for example - see Details Using Other File Formats. A customer-specific application development program can be created for managing such details. The program can be used, for example, to copy the file from the custom directory to the project directory when the project details are collected using the function Collect Details And Generate Detail Sheets.
- Detail add ins
- A detail can include other details. For example, the joint detail between a wall and a deck can include both the detail of the wall structure and the detail of the floor structure. When the joint detail of the deck is added to the project, the wall and floor structure details are also added. All these details are collected when you collect the project details using the function Collect Details And Generate Detail Sheets.
