Building-specific Component Libraries

As a rule, only the system administrator can edit component libraries using the Libraries function on the System tab. However, non-administrators can edit the building-specific component library using the function in the building's document browser.

Open the building's document browser.
Select the id of the building.
Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
Select Building libraries. The library browser opens.

The browser displays the system's standard libraries, the customer-specific libraries and the building-specific libraries.

Building-specific libraries can be found in the main folder of the browser, Building libraries. You can also identify a building-specific library by the entry 1 in the In building column.

Create a new building-specific library by copying a component

You can create a new building-specific library by copying a component from a system library or a customer-specific library.

In the browser, select a library of the desired type. The library can be a standard system library or your own library.
Select one or more components in the right side browser pane.
Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
Select Copy to new building library.
Type a description for the library.

The new library appears in the browser's Building libraries main folder in a sub folder corresponding to the selected library type. The copied components appear in the right side browser pane.

Copy a component to an existing building-specific library

In the browser, select a library of the desired type. The library can be a standard system library or your own library.
Select one or more components in the right side browser pane.
Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
Select Copy.
Select a library of the same type in the Building libraries main folder.
Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
Select Paste.

Note: A building-specific library cannot have the same name as a system library or a customer-specific library.
