Mapping Sections dialog
Used to create mapping information when importing ISM repositories or when importing CIS/2 files into OpenBuildings Designer. When you create a new DGN, you default to a particular set of section files (us.xml, uk.xml, and so forth). If the imported repository or file uses a different mapping scheme, this dialog lets you assign corresponding values from your section files to the incoming members.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Mapping Settings | After you have created your mapping choices, this
option menu lets you select an existing settings file or save the current
mapping file. Menu items are:
|
Section Name | Displays the section name of the member as it was saved in the CIS/2 file. If there is not a corresponding Mapping Name for the CIS/2 section name already, then the same section name is also in the Mapping Name column, and the text color is red. If the text color is black right after importing the CIS/2 file, there is a section map already in force for this section name. When you update the Mapping Name column, the text color is blue. |
Mapping Name | Displays the mapping name that will be used in the structural model for this imported member. To change the mapping name, right-click on a value in the column and a pop-up menu will appear. If the text color is red, there is no corresponding mapping name. If the text color is black right after importing, there is a section map already in force for this section name. When you update the Mapping Name column, the text color is blue. |
Right click options | Right clicking on the selected section name in either of the columns pops up a menu with two mapping options. |
OK | Accepts your changes and dismisses the Mapping Sections dialog. |
Cancel | Discards any changes and closes the dialog. |
