Integrated design using associations

By working with associations, which generate the general arrangement views directly from the model data of the building, you can tap the full potential of integrated design - from building model to reinforcement.

When working across drawing files, it is essential that you select the correct drawing files. To ensure a smooth workflow in a workgroup environment, you are advised to follow a specific approach when it comes to creating general arrangement views and reinforcement. This approach is described in the Engineering Tutorial and in the training documents.

If you consistently work with the correct drawing files, the model data of the building or reinforcement only includes references to the views and sections. Similarly, the views and sections only include references to the building model and reinforcement model.
