In this way you can achieve total control over the way in which the graphics in your FM Model are displayed.Ĭreating a catalog entry can be split into two main activities, creating the graphics for the asset and creating the entry in the catalog. Each display filter used to display graphics can have its own symbology. These are a combination of a cell and the symbology with which this cell is displayed.

Attributes which are only relevant to a single instance of an asset, such as its bar code or serial number, are attached to it when it is placed in the FM Model.Īssets are linked to graphics by named symbologies. The attributes attached to assets in a catalog are only those which are common to all instances of that asset, such as supplier or purchase price. Creating Catalog EntriesĬatalogs allow you to link standard attributes for an asset to the graphical element used to represent that asset in a design file. You can add new catalog items and extend the information stored with each item if required. The current demonstration model delivers catalogs of furniture and equipment for placement under a set of default classes which are typical of those used in a building facilities management environment. So as you are creating a class instance, the first step is to select a class of asset, such as chair, and then select from the catalog a specific type of chair, such as Lazy Boy Recliner. For example, an asset class such as chair might have 10 different types of chairs stored in the catalog.Each catalog item has a set of attributes which define such items as the brand of chair, the chair's dimensions, and so on. Catalogs are used to store the standard types of furniture and equipment used in the FM Model. The specific type of asset you can create depends on the items available in your catalog. Desks,chairs, PCs are all examples of common asset classes. An asset is a general class of an object which can be created in the FM Model, and if required, placed in the design file.
