Dialog Box Options
- Check-In
- When you are checking in an edited project to the DesignStream system, select the check-in method:
- Check-In details
- Using this feature requires that the DesignStream detail library is available. If you have added details from the DesignStream detail library to the project and have ticked the checkbox while checking in the project to DesignStream, the detail cards of the details in question will be linked to the project. The project metadata shows the connection to a detail card, and the detail card shows a connection to the project.
- Update the Component List
- Collect the building component quantity data and export it to the DesignStream system for estimating and quantity surveying. The quantity data is based on the building component typing: each building component has a type. The Finnish Talo 2000 classification system was taken into account in defining the types. The quantity data is exported from the Vertex BD software in XML format, to the components.xml file. In the DesignStream system, the quantity data is converted to the product structure using filters. Handling quantity data requires the Quantity Surveying or the Estimating add-on feature in the DesignStream system.
- Check-In Sub Projects
- If you have used sub projects in the design, you can check them in to the DesignStream system together with the main project. The sub projects are linked to the main project, and they will be shown in the project’s structure tree in the DesignStream system.
- Publish Documents
- If the Publisher add-on feature is available to you, you can select which project documents you wish to publish in the DesignStream system.
