Save as New Building

Select the desired building components in the model window of the open project, and save them as a new project in the local project archive or in the Vertex DesignStream system. You can open the project and continue designing it, or you can add the project as a sub project to another project.

  1. Activate the model window.
  2. Select the building components. For example, you can select a floor of the building or another entity modeled in the project.

  3. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  4. Select Advanced > Save as New Building.

    The New Project dialog box opens.

  5. Define the project data in the dialog box.

    The New Project Dialog Box

Note:
  • The original project remains open. You can open the newly created project from the project archive.
  • When you want to save the project in the Vertex DesignStream system, retrieve the project id from the DesignStream system (you can replace the automatically generated id with the id of your choice). The project will be checked-in to DesignStream system, but a copy of it will remain in the local project archive. Delete the project stored in the local archive, after which you can open the project from the DesignStream system. The Vertex DesignStream data management system is a separate product that requires customer-specific fitting.
