Thanks to Building Information Modeling, common data is studied in the architectural and static structural projecting process. In the system that allows architects and engineers to work together on the same structure, the project is modeled once and "Full Integration" is achieved. Architectural plan and formwork structural plan are two separate modes of operation within the same project and exactly overlap each other.
Layer settings are automatically arranged for both architectural and static structural works in the same project file with the features of Make make compatible with architecture and Make make compatible with Staticstructural.

Make Compatible With Architecture
Make compatible with architecture command automatically arranges the layers of a project made with ideCAD Reinforced Concrete or Steel Structural program according to the architectural ideCAD Architectural program. The program automatically closes some open layers and automatically opens some layers.
After opening the project , click the Make Compatible With ArchitectureArchitectural icon in the ribbon menu .
...
Except for the sketch and rigid diaphragm layers, all layers that concern the architecture architectural are opened.
The table below contains the sub layers that are closed and opened in the drawing details tab in the layer settings dialog.

Compatible With Structural
Make compatible with static structural command automatically arranges the layers of a project made with ideCAD Architectural program according to the static ideCAD Structural program. The program automatically closes some open layers and automatically opens some layers.
After opening the project , click the Make Static Compatible With Structural icon.
