Creating a New Drawing-model Pair

Create a new drawing-model pair to an open project by selecting File > Project Drawing-Model Pairs > Create New Drawing-Model Pair. New drawing-model pairs are created, for example, for a story added to the building. Once the new drawing-model pair is created, it is opened and activated.

2D Drawing File

Select the drawing file for the drawing-model pair from the list, for example 2walls.vxp.

3D Model File

Select either MODEL.vxm for architectural design or FRAMING.vxm for structural design from the list as the model file for the drawing-model pair.

Description

Type a description of the drawing-model pair in the text field. When the drawing-model pair is opened, this description will be displayed on the title bar of the work window.

Parameter sets

The project parameters determine, for example, the heights and default structures of different structural components. The available parameter sets depend on the project template the project was based on. Parameter sets for foundations, different floors and the roof are usually available. The parameter sets are determined by the Parameters file in the project directory. If parameters suitable for a new floor do not exist in the Parameters file, you should add a parameter set for a new floor into the file. Alternatively, you can copy a new Parameters file to the project directory, for example from the project directory of a suitable template or an existing project.
