Thanks to Building Information Modeling, common data is studied in the architectural and static 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 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 works in the same project file with the features of Make compatible with architecture and Make compatible with Static.
Make Compatible With Architecture
Make compatible with architecture command automatically arranges the layers of a project made with ideCAD Reinforced Concrete or Steel program according to the architectural program. The program automatically closes some open layers and automatically opens some layers.
After opening the project , click the Make Compatible With Architecture icon in the ribbon menu .
Except for the sketch and rigid diaphragm layers, all layers that concern the architecture are opened.
The table below contains the sub layers that are closed and opened in the drawing details tab in the layer settings dialog.

The table below shows the initial state of a project saved in the static program, when it was opened in the architectural program, and its state after the architecture was applied.

Make Static Compatible
Make compatible with static command automatically arranges the layers of a project made with ideCAD Architectural program according to the static program. The program automatically closes some open layers and automatically opens some layers.
After opening the project , click the Make Static Compatible icon.
All layers concerning statics are opened.
The table below contains the layers that are closed in the layer settings dialog and the sub layers that are closed and opened in the drawing details tab.
