  4. Select the save location of the detail. New details are normally saved in the detail archive located in the custom folder. If the drawing of which the detail is created belongs to a building, you can choose the building folder as the saving location. Details drawn in a separate drawing window will always be saved in the detail archive in the custom/detbook folder.
Note:

  • After creating the detail, you can add it to the building's floor plan drawing using the function Add a Detail.

  • See also Details Using Other File Formats.
  • This function can also be used to create a symbol of the active drawing by selecting Symbols as the detail archive when entering the detail data.
