New Classes can be created using function, which allows to create it like selected existing class. This way it will create clone of existing class with all required settings and configurations.It will create a new database table with all same columns as well, but if attributes are not required, then those can be removed and database table columns deleted.
In below instruction we will create new class for machines which are allowing people move faster trough corridors and climb to required floors. We will use Zone class as template, because this machine should be used as an area class which can be created by selecting required shape, placed in the Floor and it has area calculation option. Carrier machines are using space and this space calculation is required to manage other areas.
When all changes are done, Start Facilities Planner and Test this new Area Class.
