Add a Piece of Furniture or Another Building Component
Add a building component, for example a piece of furniture, in a
drawing as follows:
- Do either of the following:
- Select
Building Components > Add
Furniture, Symbol, Building Group....
- Open the context-sensitive menu by clicking the right mouse
button and select
Add Furniture, Symbol, Building Group....
The browser is opened.
- Select a folder in the browser.
- Double-click the thumbnail of a component.
- If the selected component has variable parameters, you can
select the parameters in a dialog box. If necessary, you can
reselect the parameters by selecting the contextual toolbar
function Edit
Parameters. If there are no parameters, you can locate the
component.
- Select the locating height of the component.
- When a component is added to a drawing, its default position is
the floor base height, i.e. the level of the floor surface, or the
nearest height level beneath. If you wish to position the component
at another height, you can change its height by using the Select Height function
on the contextual toolbar.
- If you are using the Vertex BD Architectural or Pro product,
you can also add a component to a model. You can position the
component on the floor surface level or on the nearest height level
below the cursor by using the contextual toolbar function Gravitation Snap.
Components with a height that cannot be easily selected can be
added by defining their position in the 3D model. In this case, the
gravitation snap must be disabled.
- If necessary, change the locating point of the component,
mirror or flip the component, edit the parameters of the component,
or select another function from the contextual toolbar.
