Placing penetrations on the right Part definition

Hello,

I have a custom dataset in which I want to place slab/and floor penetrations.

I managed to copy some files from the Dataset_NM, so now I can select the right PAZ-cells with the 'Place wall or slab penetrations' tool. I also made a part definition  'Doors-Windows-Openings: Opening'

When I do it in the delivered dataset 'Dataset_NM' automatically the part 'Doors-Windows-Openings: Opening' is chosen, but I can't seem to configure it in my own workspace/ dataset. Can someone tell me where it's defined?

regards,

Jean-Paul

  • Jean-Paul,  each Penetration Cell is a PAZ Cell which is created in Parametric Cell Studio and that is where the Family/Part definition is defined.  You can place each Penetration in a file and using Building INFO to select the Parametric tab to edit it.  Look in Container View, right click on Penetration to open the Component Properties.  That is where the Family and Part tab displays the Family and Part definition which can be changed to your custom Family and Part name.  Then Save the Cell and it should be used in your modeling process.
