Step 6 of 17: Copy the Car Door and Edit Its Meta Data

PL4.6: Copy a similar Car Door and edit its Meta Data as well as Key Parameters

Written by Alexandra Göttert

Prerequisites

  • The landing door is finished and saved.

Steps

1.) Find a similar car door and note its manufacturer and RID. In DigiPara Liftdesigner, find the car door with DD_RID: 22 (the one used as the example for this tutorial), and note its manufacturer / BIM Library.

2.) Copy the car door in DigiPara Liftdesigner Datamanager. Copy the matching record into your manufacturer module. Step through the 3-step copy process to see the result.

3.) Edit the meta data: description, and copy/paste data rows. In Edit Mode, add a new, specific description for the copied car door, saving via a new table tab. Then select an existing data row and use Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V to fill down the complete existing content into the table.

4.) Edit the meta data: door widths. Define the selectable door widths for the DigiPara Liftdesigner Properties window, and confirm the result in Liftdesigner.

Result

A new, independent car door record exists in the DigiPara BIM Library, with its own description and defined door widths.
