Defining Component Change Rules
Component Change
You can substitute a component with another component, change component parameters, move or delete a component by defining component change rules. By changing components, you can achieve the following, for example:
- Change the roof slope.
- Change the eave overhang.
- Change windows.
- Change opening trims.
- Change a siding material.
- Move a door.
- Change a building group.
You can define the component change rules as follows:
- Select Modeling | Tools Set Up Component Change. The Component Change dialog box opens.
- Define the component change rules in the dialog box.
- Confirm by clicking OK.
Components are changed, moved or deleted when you select the Change Components function or when you solve the options.
