Defining a Building Component
Building components are designed by defining the units and materials to be used in the detailed quantity. The name, unit and size (volume, length, area etc.) of the materials are determined.
Building component design is done from the Category Settings dialog. To open the category settings dialog;
Click the Tools / Design Building Components line in the classic menu and the Tools / Quantities / Design Building Components icon in the ribbon menu .
The Category Settings dialog will open.
Unit identification
First, the units that determine the size of the materials that make up the quantity are defined. For this;
Click the Tools / Design Building Components line in the classic menu and the Tools / Quantities / Design Building Components icon in the ribbon menu .
In the Unit Settings dialog that opens , click the Units folder from the list on the left and click the Create Unit button on the right .
A line with the name New Volume will appear on the left . On the right, there will be other editable lines belonging to the new unit. The properties of this unit will be determined in these lines.
Name: The name of the unit is written. For example, if the unit is meter, it is meter, if it is square meter, it is m² etc. You can give names.
Type: Determines which unit the component we define as unit represents. One of the options of height, area, volume, mass, time, energy, number is selected from the list.
Conversion rate: The value to be taken as basis is entered when converting the defined new unit to the unit written next to the line. Each size listed on the type line has default values. For example, when the height size is selected in the type line, the default height value is 1 meter. If the unit is used as centimeter, for example, it is converted to centimeter by writing 100 to the conversion rate.
The default units of sizes in the type list are:
Height -> Meter
Area -> Square meter
Volume -> Cubic Meter
Mass -> Kilogram
Time -> Minute
Energy -> Jul
There are no default units of currency, number and overall size.
Material Identification

Assigning Building Components to Objects
Assigning the materials defined with the Design Building Components command to the objects is done with the Add Building Components button on the Building Components tab of each object's own setting dialog .
Select the object to which you want to assign a building component and open the Object Settings dialog.
Click on the Building Components tab in the Object Settings dialog .
The Component Selection dialog will open when you click the Add Building Components button .
In this dialog, select the material you want to use from the list on the left.
Set the parameters on the right.
Clicking the OK button will close the Component Selection dialog.
The selected material will appear in the Building Components tab. If desired, more than one material can be assigned.
The objects that can be assigned materials in the program are:
Wall, space, door / window, column, beam, curtain, floor, raft floor, continuous foundation, singular foundation, tie beam, roof, roof surface, stairs, library, elongated object, rotated object, pool, siding, jamb , profile objects.
The parameters available in the component selection dialog are:
In the usage section;
No change: The amount of material to be assigned for the object in question is marked when it is desired to be used in the size that was previously specified in the material definition.
Percentage ratio: This line is marked when it is desired to be used with the percentage of the amount previously determined in the material definition as much as the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog. For example, if the material amount is 70, if the line “Value 1” says 40, it means that 40% of the material amount will be used.
Newly defined: This line is marked to use the amount entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog instead of the amount previously determined in the material definition.
Multiplier: This line is marked in order to use the value found at the end of the multiplication of the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog with the amount previously determined in the material definition.
Fractional: This line is marked so that the amount determined in the material definition before will be used as much as the fraction value formed by the values entered in the "Value 1" and "Value 2" lines in the same dialog. "Value 1" is the denominator "Value 2" is the denominator.
Proportion: It is determined to what scale-area, perimeter, length etc.-, region-side area, top, edge etc.- the material will be proportioned to. The content of the proportional list box is automatically determined according to the object and the size of the material. For example, a different list will be created if an operation is made for the column, a different list will be created for the library, a different list for the volume, and a different list for the field.
The lines that appear in the Proportion list according to the object and material size are as follows:
