Constructions

I'm getting up to speed with Designbuilder. Is there an easy way to review what constructions you are using where in the model, e.g. by clicking on a floor to see what it is made of? I'm slightly confused by the various types of floor, ceiling, semi-exposed, roof, ground floor etc. Do I just need to learn all these carefully with the diagrams in help, or is there a way of querying what a particular surface is made of?

Bobby,

You can go to every surface in your model by double clicking in the model layout or by means of the navigation panel. Once on the surface level you can review constructions in the constructions tab (edit screen). When you select a construction in this tab its detailed composition is shown in the data panel (at the right side if you are using learning mode). At the moment I think it is the easiest way.

I think it is very important to become familiarized whit the construction types depending on it relative position in the model, as it could be a little confuse in the beginning.

Best regards,

Arturo
