Settings - Components

The Component dialog box helps you configure settings needed to fill in the data collected for and exported to the COBie Component spreadsheet.

Name: Using the Name Builder, you can configure how the COBie.Name field is constructed for family types in your model. You can add, remove, and reorder fields, include manual text, and have a field separator to build the name. A preview below the table shows you what the output name will be.

Once you have your settings configured properly, use the save button in the action bar to save your settings. If you are done setting up your model for the COBie Extension, you can use Save and Close to update settings and close this dialog.
