Details on Disciplines

Information on the Disciplines section.

You are here:

Project tab

Disciplines ...

Opens the Disciplines dialog, where you specify which disciplines are displayed in the Control Board. In the dialog you can also edit the names or abbreviations of disciplines, and create new disciplines by copying existing disciplines. A newly created discipline contains the same properties as the discipline it was copied from.

Disciplines section

The selection of the storey fulfills the following tasks:

  • provision of the appropriate functions in the construction tab

  • provision of the appropriate views in the project tab

  • provision of the appropriate system classes in the construction tab

  • provision of the appropriate libraries in the library tab

  • visibility control of pipes, ducts, components and architecture in the model

The software distinguishes between selecting a building part, storey or discipline (marked in blue) and activating the check box. The check box controls the visibility of the discipline. Selecting a discipline so that it is highlighted in blue means that this discipline provides the functions on the Construction tab, the Library tab, and the Analyse tab.
