The information below shows a method for creating a space catalog that matches a project program. It assumes that you are using a shared Site Dataset for the majority of your Datagroup Catalogs like walls, doors, plumbing fixtures, etc., but because your project types vary you want the Space Catalog information to be controlled on a per project basis to match individual project programs.
This information is useful even if you are set up with separate datasets for every project and not a shared site dataset just skip the first part and move to Modifying the Space Catalog Items.
To create a project specific Space Catalog that matches your project program you must move the space catalog xml file into your project dataset. The default location for the delivered Space Catalog xml is in the application dataset, ArchDatasetNcsUS, in the datagroupcatalogs folder with the file name, us_ncs_spaces.xml. Copy this file to your project dataset into a datagroupcatalogs folder. Depending on your folder setup probably something like:
P:/ProjectName/dataset\datagroupcatalogs (where P:/ is the projects drive).
