Launching the detailing style assistant

To launch the assistant, call up the context menu in the component overview of the detail centre in the list of detailing styles. On the DetailCenter, Parts tab > Detail Styles area, select right-click > Create Style menu. This opens up the following dialog.

Setting	Description
Procedure list	In the procedure list you see an overview of the steps taken so far, as well as the procedural step in progress. Click on an entry, you can still change any input here later on and thus influence the subsequent procedure.
Start Page	Displays the first page.
Previous Page	Displays the previous page.
Next Page	Displays the next possible page.
Last Page	Displays the last page. This is only possible if you have already gone through all previous pages. Here you will find a summary of your inputs at all stages.
Execute	Creates the detailing style in the model according to your settings. You then go through the normal dialog for processing a detailing style and can make further adaptations. This button is not available until you have reached the last page.
Number of pages	The Page # of Number of pages box appears next to dialog controls, indicates the current input page you are on and how many pages are to follow.

– On the first and last input page you have the option of loading and/or saving your inputs as a OpenBridge Modeler template. This gives you access to certain creation standards at any time.

After completely going through steps you can transfer between pages at any time, make corrections and then jump to the end again. Should the change impact the procedure as of the modified page, you must go through all subsequent steps again until the end of the process.

Coloring and support graphics

Support with inputs within the individual steps is provided by various help texts, help graphics and colors. This should help you to create a suitable style even without deeper detailing style knowledge.

Blue texts explain which basic information is to be compiled by this assistant page and to which detailing this information applies.
Red texts explain the meaning of a current selection within a page. These texts change according to your selection.
Yellow fields are obligatory fields, which require a valid input in all events.

Support graphics on the right serve to schematically illustrate the meaning of a current selection or selection set.

Selection from standard templates

Since the detailing assistant partly changes several parameters in the detailing style via your selection, some selection sets - especially dimensioning —can be selected via templates supplied with the product.

As an alternative to a combination of supplied (sub-) templates, you can often also select your own customized, user-defined template, which you have created within the standard detailing style dialog. This enables you to combine customized and standard templates with each other in the creation process.

An overview of the templates supplied with the product is available in the sub-section that follows this section.
