Workpack: Custom Views

What are Custom Views in Workpack?

• Often there is a need to show takeoff results in a view different from the usual one in Workpack that offers division by user-made groups or groups based on label detection:

   

• A View in Workpack is a way to show desired measurements according to a set of logical rules applied to measurement attributes like ‘attribute = value’. Example: Full takeoff (left) vs Custom View ‘Exterior Walls and Left Hand Doors’ (right)

   

• One View can include different types of measurements

• A View consists of one or several Conditions

• A Condition is an item showing some measurement type according to a set of rules constructed in View setup

How To Setup A View

• After takeoff is done, go to the tab ‘View’ in the Left Panel:

• Click ‘Add custom view’ button:

• You have opened an Add View screen (Edit View screen will be the same):

• Type name and color, then click Next, you will open ‘Conditions’ tab

• Conditions tab allows to add and construct Conditions:

• Name the condition, select required type, select desired tags and click ‘+Add attributes’: dropdown will show the list of attributes that belong to selected measurement type (same attributes as what can be seen in Properties panel for the object of the type)

• Type or select the option value:

• You can add more than one rule for each attribute, for example, to get both Break Rooms and Office Rooms, you need to add two rules as following:

• Click Save - you just have created a view:
