    How to create a new Wall Catalog Item

      Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Architectural Design
      Subarea: Walls

    Problem

    What's the best way to create a new Wall Catalog Item?

    Solution

    The easiest way is to Duplicate an existing wall item in the DataGoup Catalog and then modify it as needed :

    1) Open the Catalog Editor:

    2) Right-click on the Wall Catalog Item and select "Duplicate".

    3) Name the duplicated Item as appropriate, save the new Catalog Item, choosing where to save it, then set the property values as needed. Also, make sure to click on the Save button in the Catalog Editor dialog box:

        

    NOTE: To help keep track of customized objects save with a meaningful file name, perhaps using an organization or project prefix, e.g.: BSUK_Walls.xml

    4) Now you will see the new Wall catalog item in the DataGroup Catalog Editor and available for placement in the Place Wall tool:

    While the above example is focused on Walls, the same general process applies to other components as well, such as Slabs, Railings, Beams, etc.
