Add or Change a Uniformat Assembly Code

All model elements have Assembly Code and Assembly Description type properties based on the hierarchical list of Uniformat codes assigned by R.S. Means.

You can add or change a Uniformat assembly code for a selected element type. The read-only Assembly Description property updates to match the assigned code.

Both the Assembly Code and Assembly Description fields are available for creating a schedule that groups components by Uniformat code.

  1. Select an instance of the element type in the drawing area.
  2. On the Properties palette, click Edit Type.
  3. For the Assembly Code parameter, click the value box, and then click .
  4. In the Choose Assembly Code dialog, navigate the Uniformat Classification hierarchy, and select a code.
    Tip: If you are looking at the type properties of a wall, you see only the Uniformat codes related to walls. You can select a different category of codes from the drop-down at the top of the dialog.
  5. Click OK.

    The Assembly Description parameter updates to display the description for the new code.
