Place Custom DataGroup Catalog Items

Depending on the type, scope and depth of a project, you may place hundreds of different types of objects during the course of your work. For instance, the most common architectural objects placed are walls, doors, windows, floors and cabinets, and OpenBuildings Station Designer provides individual tools to place these items.

However, these tools do not place many other types of architectural items – items such as appliances, light fixtures and exit signs to name a few. Rather than create several additional tools to place many different objects, one tool is available to place all the other types of architectural objects, and one tool is available to modify them.

Custom Catalog Item Placement

The ( Place User Defined Types (Object) ) tool is used to place all DataGroup catalog items that are not placed using Architectural discipline placement tools. Like other place tools, this tool handles several architectural object file types including PAZ.
