Edit the Drawing-model Pair Properties

You can edit the properties of a drawing-model pair when you create a new drawing-model pair, or edit a drawing-model pair.

  1. Open the building's document browser.
  2. Right-click Settings.
  3. Do either of the following:
    • Select Create New Drawing-model Pair. Click Edit.
    • Select Edit Drawings and 3D Models of Building. Click Properties.

Edit the drawing-model pair properties in a dialog box.

Dialog Box Options

When this check box is selected, the drawing-model pair is automatically opened without separate selection when the building is opened.
Number of drawing-model pair for framing
Each drawing-model pair of a building has a serial number, for example:
Drawing-model Pair Serial number e.g.
1st floor plan drawing. 30
1st floor walls framing 31
1st floor deck 32
1st floor deck framing 33
In the properties of a floor's drawing-model pair, you can define the serial number of the drawing-model pair for which the framing structure of the floor is designed. Type the serial number of the drawing-model pair of the framing structure in the text field.
Note:
  • The selected properties of the drawing-model pair are displayed in the Properties field of the Drawing-Model Pairs of a Building database view, separated by vertical lines, for example the properties of the first floor floor plan selected above:

    DEFAULT - This drawing-model pair will be automatically opened when the building is opened.

    FRAMING=31 - The framing structure of this floor is designed in drawing-model pair number 31.
