Using attributes for projects, building structures, filesets, drawing files, and layouts

Project attributes

You can give each project a list of attributes, such as construction volume, location, specialist planners involved. These attributes are included when you exchange or back up data. You do not need to log the project-specific data separately.

Attributes for the building structure

Especially for the data exchange according to the IFC guidelines, attributes for the individual elements of the building topology are relevant.

Layout, drawing, drawing file attributes

You can assign attributes defining the display type (for example, plan, section, elevation) and the custom hierarchic code. Drawing files resulting from sections or hidden-line images get a special attribute. As the data must not be modified after a layout has been approved and released, the owner or administrator can remove write permission from all project users. In addition, there are layout types for layouts (for example, key plan, site plan), a custom name and a layout index. You can also specify change notices and release notes in an index table.
