    How can I add / modify a new / existing Definition in a Catalog?

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Datasets
      Subarea: Content

    Problem

    How can I add / modify a new / existing Definition in a Catalog? e,g, I want to add new construction phase types in steel beam.

    Solution

    To modify an existing definition, you need to have administrator privileges. Once you have the same, then go to "C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenBuildings CONNECT Edition\OpenBuildingsDesigner\DataGroupSystem" and look for the exact enumlookups.xml file and modify the same. e.g. To change new construction phase type, go to 'ObjectPhasing_enumlookups.xml' file. Open the same in notepad and enter lines below line number 12; "<Enum value="XXXX"></Enum>" and put value as per your requirement. Paste the earlier mentioned again to put another value. Please see the below attached image.

    If you want to create new definition and add the same to an existing Catalog property, please go through the following video and follow the steps.
