Edit the drawing-model pairs in the Project Drawing-Model Pairs database view.
Database View Fields
- In Use
- When a drawing-model pair of a project is in use, it can be opened by pressing F4, or by clicking the button in the top left corner of the working window:
- Description
- Type a description of the drawing-model pair in the text field. When the drawing-model pair is opened, this description will be displayed on the title bar of the work window.
- Order
- Each drawing-model pair of a project has a serial number, for example:
- 2D drawing
- The name of the drawing file of the drawing-model pair.
- 3D Model File
- The name of the model file of the drawing-model pair.
- Parameter Set
- The project parameters determine, for example, the heights and default structures of different structural components. The available parameter sets depend on the project template the project was based on. Parameter sets for foundations, different floors and the roof are usually available. The available parameter sets are determined by the Parameters file in the project directory.
- Properties
- If necessary, you can edit the properties of a drawing-model pair by clicking the Properties button. You can also edit the properties later by using the function Edit the Drawing-model Pair Properties.
- Type and sub type
- Select the type and sub type for the drawing-model pair. This information is used when copying objects and managing the materials of sub projects.
- Copying objects - When you copy objects from one floor to another, or from one project to another via the clipboard, the program tries to position the objects in the correct drawing-model pairs.
- Managing materials - The materials of the objects in the sub project’s drawing-model pair are collected on the right floor in the main project. For example, you can add the sub project’s drawing-model pair “1st floor walls” to the main project’s drawing-model pair “2nd floor walls”. When you collect the materials, the walls of the sub project are marked as belonging to the second floor.
- Plan type
- This information is used when copying objects and managing the materials of sub projects in the same way as the Type and sub type properties.
