Adding a Building Group to the Main Project

You can add a building group to the main project as follows:

1. If necessary, close the building group project and open the main project.
2. Select Townhouse Application > Add Flat.
3. Select the building group project and the drawing-model pair to be added from it in the dialog box.

   Select Flat

4. If you choose to add the entire drawing-model pair from the project, you can position the building group in the active project's drawing-model pair in either a 2D drawing or the 3D model. As a default, the locating point is in the building group's origin. Before positioning the building group, you can use the functions on the contextual toolbar to rotate or mirror the flat, change the locating point or add the building group as a chain of copies, for example.

   Auxiliary Functions for Adding a Building Group

   In particular, you should check the building group's locating height with the Select Height auxiliary function. The locating height must be zero (0).

5. Click a location for the building group.

Note

• You can add only building group projects in a local project archive to the main project. If you wish to use a building group project in the DesignStream system, you must first retrieve a copy of the project or check the project out from the server.
