Use Organizer

You can stay organized by defining breakdown structures and grouping objects together as you see fit.

For example, you could create groups by project phase, object type, location (floors or sections), and more.

Examples of Organizer groups:
  • Location (floors, sections)
  • Phases
  • Object type (cast in place, steel assemblies)
  • Work Breakdown Structures / Work Packages
  • Cost units
  • Bill of Quantities

Organizer Group Types

Organizer groups are a user created hierarchical structure for grouping model objects together for quick access using object linking. Rule-based organizer groups make the object linking process automatic by allowing you to create a rule by which the hierarchical organizer group is automatically created by the application.

Manual groups
  • Manual groups do not update automatically when the model is updated.
  • Manual groups can be created manually (from the Organizer panel) or from the Data Table.
Rule-based groups
  • The application can update the subgroup's linked objects based on the defined rules
  • Rule-based groups can be created manually (from the Organizer panel) or from the Data Table.
  • Rule-based groups support colorization of subgroups for easy visualization

Organizer Tools

Sorting and Filtering

Sort Organizer Groups

Use the sort feature to sort your groups by:
  • Date created
  • Date modified
  • Name

Filter Organizer Groups

Quickly filter the groups by choosing to view all groups created by everyone in the project or view only the ones created by you.

Linked Object Counts

The numbers in parentheses under the group name indicate how many objects have been linked to the group and its subgroups. The first number is the total number of linked objects in the group.

Intersections

Create intersections of multiple groups by selecting more than one group while holding down the Ctrl key.
