Defining and managing project attributes

Sending layouts and other files using Allplan Exchange / Using attributes

Every project can be given attributes such as building volume, site, building contractor and so on. These project attributes are saved together with the project data when you exchange or back up the project. You do not need to log these project-specific data separately.

Note: Alternatively, use the Project Settings dialog box to assign project attributes (see "Assigning attributes to projects").

To define and manage project attributes

• Allplan Exchange dialog box (How) is open.
  

  Activate the Allplan Exchange dialog box in one of the following ways

  • Actionbar:Task Layout Editor Task area Layout Editor Allplan Exchange Layout Distribution

  Or:

  • Actionbar: The Layout Editor task is selected.

  • Menu bar: Create Layout Allplan Exchange Layout Distribution

1. Click Layout and project attributes at bottom left.

   The Layout Attributes dialog box opens.

2. Click Project Attributes at bottom left in the border of the Layout Attributes dialog box.

   The Project Attributes dialog box opens.

3. Enter values for the attributes in the groups.

   All you need to do is click in the Attribute value column of the relevant attribute.

   Note: If "Show unassigned values" is selected (toolbar at the top; in this case, the Hide unassigned values button is displayed), the Attribute name column shows all the attributes that are available throughout the office.
   If, however, "Hide unassigned values" is selected (toolbar at the top; in this case, the Show unassigned values button is displayed), you can only see the project attributes that actually include values. In this case, click Show unassigned values to display all available attributes.

4. Click OK twice.

   You are back in Allplan Exchange dialog box.
