In below instruction we will create new Asset class using standard Add Child Class... option, which will allow to build new class from scratch.
Asset class is created, but this class is empty and is missing various configurations, which are required for it to work. First we need to add all required attributes. It is recommended to create unique only to this class required attributes, which will be added as new columns in class database table.
New class was created and we should add important qualifiers, which will allow to use this class in Planner. We can always check similar class and add same qualifiers, but some of them are added automatically after adding several additional configurations for class.
After adding all those additional settings system will add several qualifiers, but still it is missing several important ones, which will allow us to start using this class.
When class is created and prepared we should add additional configurations which will allow to place asset inside required areas. As well we should create additional autolinking rule which automatically will link class to are in which it is located.
New Asset class was created and fully configured to be used in Bentley Facilities Space Planner. Now we can easily Create new HVAC Asset, but asset symbology is still not configured and we cant place new asset inside our Models. Asset symbology can be created using standard Microstation graphical design tools and assigned to our new class using Bentley Facilities Frameworks tool.
New Asset class is fully prepared and can be used in Planner. Open Planer and test how this new Asset can be placed and how all data is saved in your FM Office Model.
