Create a Panel Assembly

You can form a panel assembly from panels. The panels can be wall, floor, ceiling, roof or beam panels or frame lines. You can create a panel drawing and a 3D panel stack for transportation planning of the assembly.

First, create the necessary wall panels, floor, ceiling or roof panels, beam panels, or frame lines. After that, form a panel assembly as follows:

1. Select the panels. Click the panel label in the floor plan, or select the panels in the object tree or model.

   

2. Select Panel | Create panel assembly.
3. Enter the assembly data:
   • Panel type - The basic delivery of the program includes the following types:
     • Assembly - Suitable for an assembly consisting of beam panels or frame lines, for example.

     • PREFAB_UNIT when the panel type is Prefab unit.
   • Panel label visibility - Select either of the following:
