Add a Building Group to the Main Model

You can add a building group to the main model as follows:

  1. If necessary, close the building group model and open the main model.
  2. Select Modeling | Zone | Sub Model.
  3. Select the building group model and the drawing-model pair to be added from it in the dialog box.

    Select a Sub Model

  4. If you choose to add the entire drawing-model pair from the building, you can position the building group in the active building's drawing-model pair in either a 2D drawing or the 3D model. As a default, the locating point is in the building group's origin. Before positioning the building group, you can use the functions in the auxiliary menu to rotate or mirror the flat, change the locating point or add the building group as a chain of copies, for example.

    Auxiliary Functions for Adding a Building Group

    In particular, you should check the building group's locating height with the Select Height auxiliary function. The locating height must be zero (0).

  5. Click a location for the building group.
Note: You can add only building group models in a local building archive to the main model. If you wish to use a building group model in the DesignStream system, you must first retrieve a copy of the building or check the building out from the server.
