Add a Sub Project

The function is available without the Sub Projects add-on option.

Start designing by creating a new project - main project. Add a drawing-model pair of the sub project into the active drawing-model pair of the main project. The drawing-model pair will be added as a reference drawing and reference model.

  1. Select Modeling | Zone | Sub Project.
  2. Select the sub project and the drawing-model pair in a dialog box.

    Select a Sub Project

  3. If you choose to add the entire drawing-model pair from the sub project, you can position the sub project in the main project's drawing-model pair in either a floor plan drawing or a model. As a default, the origin of the reference drawing or model will be used as the reference point. Before positioning the sub project, you can use the functions in the auxiliary menu to rotate or mirror the sub project, change the locating point or add the sub project as a chain of copies, for example.

  4. Select the location of the sub project.
Note: If you are using a steel framing system, you can base your sub project on a template project called TEMPLATE-FLAT. The project includes a coarse framing model frame_coarse.vxm in which profiles are shown in a coarse configuration. You can use this coarse model when you add a sub project to the main project. This makes the project lighter and easier to manage.
Note: You can load a drawing from the same sub project to another drawing-model pair of the main project by using the function Load a Sub Project.
