Defining a Module

You can divide the building components to modules. A module is defined by limiting the building components belonging to the module with a line in the drawing. You can add the line in the drawing of any drawing-model pair. The module takes effect in all the drawing-model pairs to which the drawing belongs. A building component belongs to a module if its center point is inside the module line, or exactly on the module line.

1. Select Townhouse Application > Define Module.
2. Select the points of the limiting line in the drawing.
3. Select Confirm.
4. Define the module data:
   • Name - The module label (1) shown above the limiting line in the floor plan. A module must always have a name.
   • Apartment label - A module can consist of several apartments. Define the limiting line separately for each flat, and enter the apartment label (2) in addition to the module name.

   

Note

• Once you have defined the modules, the program adds the heading Module drawings to the project's document browser. See Creating Module Drawings.
• When you collect the materials, the information about the module in which the building component belongs, is collected to the material database. This enables creating module-specific bill of materials.
• You can rename the module, or add or remove building components by using the function Checking and Editing a Module.
