Bind Spaces Properties to the Imported Data

  1. The properties list, by default is set to Do Not Import. To bind a property, select one from the properties drop list that best matches the imported file's attributes (column names).
  2. To save time, click the Best Match button. This matches the file data with the closest possible counterparts in the properties list.

    CAUTION: An error is found in the imported file. The Height and (ft) columns appear to shift all subsequent columns giving illogical values.

  3. Open the imported file in a text editor. The error is an extra tab character (delimiter) between Height and (ft). Delete the tab and (ft).


  4. Return to the Property Bind Page, and click Back. Select the modified text file, again and click Next.


  5. Manually complete property binding for those items that are not matched (that remain with the Do Not Import selection).
  6. Click Next to continue.

    The Error Report Page opens.
