Inserting elements

In the "Project" tab, under the "Elements" section of the main toolbar, you can define and enter the following elements:

When you add installation elements to the model, they are displayed with their actual dimensions, symbols and reference labels. You can add elements to any view of the model, whether 3D or 2D, such as floor plans or elevations. The elements added to the model will appear in the tables accessible via the "Added elements" option in the "Project" section.

Generate outlets

The program automatically generates an assignment of the necessary power and antenna outlets for equipment imported from the BIM model, in accordance with the settings specified under "Processing of the equipment of the BIM model" within the "General options" section of the "Project" group.

Vertical mechanism / Horizontal mechanism

Inserts an electrical mechanism into the model in a vertical or horizontal position, respectively. This requires the following parameters to be defined:

  • Reference
  • Catalogue
    The "Select from catalogue" button on the right allows you to import items from manufacturer catalogues that have been previously downloaded via the "Catalogues" option in the "Project" section.
  • Frame
    • Number of elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    • Reference (if you used the "Select from catalogue" option)
  • Configuration of each element:
    • Function
      Defines the function of the element.
    • Another symbol
      Selects and uses a specific symbol that has been previously defined in the "Special symbols" tab, within the "Symbols for drawings" section, which can be accessed via the "General options" in the "Project" group.
Note:
When a mechanism is inserted onto a vertical plane, the program detects the plane of the element on which it is to be positioned and the mechanism is automatically oriented.
