Create Module Drawings

A module drawing contains only those parts that belong to the module. A building component belongs to a module if its center point is inside the module line, or exactly on the module line. However, the module line is used to delimit the basic geometry and sub models if they are within the module limits.

You can create the module drawings either in the building document browser or by adding the drawings to the drawing sheet. You can delete module drawings in the building document browser.

Create or delete module drawings in the building document browser

You can create or delete module drawings in the building document browser as follows:

1. Move the cursor on the title Architectural documents / Module Drawings.
2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
3. Select Create Module Drawings.
4. From the list, select the drawing of a drawing-model pair of the modules from which you wish to create module drawings, or delete them:
   • When a drawing is selected on the list, module drawings will be created of its modules.
   • When a drawing is unselected on the list, the module drawings of its modules will be deleted.

   As a default, the drawings for the modules of which module drawings have already been created are selected on the list. As a default, the drawings for the modules of which module drawings have not been created are unselected on the list. The module drawings will be created and deleted according to the selections on the list.

Create module drawings by adding a drawing on a sheet
