Surface Object

You can use this tool to create surface objects and assign attributes.

Line Object

You can use this tool to create line objects and assign attributes.

General Object

You can use this tool to create general objects based on existing elements.
Use Assign, Modify Object Attributes to assign attributes to general objects.

Label Style

You can use this tool to create a label style. A label style may include all kinds of elements (e.g., lines, circles ...). You can also associate label styles with attributes such as occupancy or floor area.

Using formulas, you can make the type of attribute dependent on specific values. For instance, you might want the label to include text if the room exceeds a certain height.

The attributes serve as placeholders: the actual values of the architectural element are only calculated and displayed in the label when the label style is used to label an architectural element.

In the same way as smart symbols, a label style can consist of a number of foils. The level of detail in a label can thus be higher at 1:50 than at 1:100.

Label

You can use this tool to label all architectural elements and instances of smart symbols at a later stage

Object Reports

You can use this tool to create reports for subsequent analyses and evaluations of the data. These reports can be sent to the printer and imported as PDF files to the document.

Export Object Manager Data

You can use this tool to export object data and attributes in the active documents and to combine this data in various lists and schedules. You can then transfer this data to external programs like Microsoft Excel or to applications you developed yourself. These external programs can be accessed straight from Allplan (online connection).

Import Object Manager Data

You can use this tool to re-import data which you have exported to an external program using Export Object Manager Data and edited there.

Assign, Modify Object Attributes

You can use this tool to modify attributes of existing objects. You can also assign new attributes.

Transfer, Delete Object Attributes

You can use this tool to transfer the attributes of an object to one or more objects. You can also delete object attributes.

Assign Attributes to Elements

You can use this tool to assign object names and attributes to one or more elements (e.g. architectural components, lines, circles, 3D solids). You can only select attributes that can be modified. This lets you generate any objects which can then be analyzed and evaluated using lists and schedules.

Remove Attributes

You can use this tool to remove object names and attributes from one or more elements in a single operation. This restores the original component or element.

Replace Label Style

You can use this tool to replace one or more label styles of the same type with another label style.
Note: You can only replace label styles consisting of one foil or label styles whose foils can be selected together.

Reshape Surface Element, Architectural Area

You can use this tool to add areas to hatching, patterns, fills, bitmaps or architectural elements (slabs, rooms, net stories, floors, ceilings, roof covering) or remove such areas.

Split Surface Elements, Archit. Elements

You can use this tool to split hatching, patterns, fills, bitmaps and architectural elements (walls, columns, slabs, beams, upstands, rooms, net stories, floors, ceilings) into two parts. This can be useful if you need to split up the 3D plan while creating the layout.

Merge Surface Elements, Archit. Elements

You can use this tool to merge two areas of hatching, patterns, fills, bitmaps and architectural elements (walls, slabs, beams, upstands, rooms, net stories, floors and ceilings) to form a single element.
