Workflow: In-place Elements in Projects

Before you begin a project, use this workflow to determine whether your model requires in-place elements.

1. Identify any unique or single-use element that your project requires. If your project requires an element that will be used in more than one project, create it as a loadable family.
2. If your project requires an in-place element that exists in another project (or is similar to one that exists in another project) you can copy the in-place element into your project or load it into your project as a group.
3. If you cannot find an in-place element that meets your needs, create a new in-place element in the project.
