Converting as-built data to demolition data

When you convert as-built data to demolition data, it is a good idea to match the parameters of a suitable demolition element from the wizard and use them for Conversion for Building Alteration Work. If you are not working with wizards, you can also use the default setting of Conversion for Building Alteration Work, which can be restored by clicking Reset.

Important steps

• You have already converted the relevant elements of the existing layout to as-built data using the Conversion for Building Alteration Work tool.
• If you are working with the Allplan 2016 IBD CAD Data for Building Alteration package, use Copy, Move Elements between Documents to copy the as-built data to the corresponding drawing files in the Building model, as-built building structure node.

1. Make the drawing file with the as-built data current.

   Note: If you want to assign a different building alteration category to a section of a wall only, you need to split up the wall first.
   To do this, you can use the Split Surface Elements, Archit. Elements tool, for example. As an alternative, select Delete Section of Linear Component and then Join Linear Component with Line.

   • Set parameters for the element in the Conversion for Building Alteration Work dialog box.
