Classification
The purpose of these tasks is to connect objects and processes in the model that maintain various considerations and purposes. For example, one classification theme can be separated by drawing key, phase division, or in example classifications acc. processes and objects, in accordance with a given specification.
Find it here:
The individual class assignments in a classification can be linked to objects in the model. One can thus, for example, connect the objects belonging to the tasks of moving cables, demolishing houses, and/or adding a tarmac. Another example is, e.g., linking objects belonging to one field and the person/company responsible for this field. This way, you can connect information in the model with different classifications, depending on the purpose of the classification.
In the Home menu, there is a button for classification that gives you the ability to insert two new task types:
Classification - Classification is a task that contains classes put into one system and a structure to satisfy a particular purpose. The classification task must contain a name and a description of the standard.
Class - A class task can not exist without a classification task. A class consists of a code and a description.
With V770 classification, you get process codes, and with the class tool, you can connect objects.
To connect classes with process tags to objects use the class tool. Here you can select specific objects or if you want as automatic as possible, use the dynamic query dialog.
Installed templates
In the international version, there are no installed templates.
Input of a classification structure from a text file
If you have your own classifications, you can read these into Novapoint. What is required is that you have a tab-delimited file with a minimum of 2 columns. One column for class code and one column for class description.
Choose the Import from a text file template. The dialog that comes up lets you open a text file, and you get a preview of what the class tasks will look like.
In the dialog, decide from which line classes are defined and you can load one delimiter; a specific character that indicates that there is a new class. Otherwise, there is an alphanumeric sorting, and it pays to have done this sort of text file before reading the file.
If it looks okay, click Finish and type a help text for this classification in the menu. As it is shown under the red marked picture.
Known error: There is a limit of 255 characters in the code and description field. If you have more the program will stop reading the file.
Export of objects with classification codes
When objects in a model are connected to their respective process codes, you can use these when publish to DWG and export to LandXML. For these formats, you set up combinations of classification and description, so that, e.g., DWG layer names and LandXML object name is named acc. classifications. learn more about publish to DWG and export LandXML, in the Export Setup section.
