The SIGNAX panel allows you to collect information about an element or set of elements in one place, contains various auxiliary functions for convenient work with SIGNAX properties, attaching various documents to model elements, interacting with work types and quickly setting up the optimal view
Click on the SIGNAX tab in the Settings panel ➤ Panel
¶ SIGNAX Properties
This tab displays all SIGNAX properties and their values, as well as the Quantitative Values (Volume/Area/Length/Weight) of the selected elements.
- The “APPLY STANDARD VIEW” button changes the viewport settings for more comfortable working with the model.
- The “Edit” button allows you to edit the property value of an element/elements.
This tab displays the settings for work types and favorite properties.
¶ Work Types
This setting allows you to add Work Types that will be specified when using the Complete/Accept/Schedule , KS-2 , Report , Budget tools. Prepare your own work type structure for use on the site. Work types are located in the SIGNAX panel, in the “Work” tab
Click on the panel Settings ➤ “Panel” ➤ “Work” tab
Folders and work types can be Add manually or Import a ready-made Excel file .
- Adding a new folder.
- Adding a new work type.
- The “Duplicate” button allows you to duplicate the selected folder or work type while preserving the values and conditions within the work types
- Importing work types from an Excel table.
- Importing work types from an XML file downloaded from Primavera. Import activity types from Primavera, mark activity completion, and export completion percentage using " Primavera Percentage ".
- Export activity types to an Excel spreadsheet.
- Clear the activity type list.
- Search set creation conditions. (See "Create Conditions" for more details)
- If the “Create only non-empty sets” switch is active, only those search sets that meet the PO creation conditions will be created. If the switch is inactive, search sets will be created for all activity types, even those whose creation conditions are filled in incorrectly. If the creation conditions are not filled in, the PO will not be created, regardless of the switch position.
You can create search sets of activity types using the “Work” tool, but you need to specify the conditions for creating the PE (see “Create Conditions” ):
¶ Import from Excel
Types of work:
- The “Pos.” column contains a value in the format F1, F1.1, F2, F2.1, F2.1.1 or W1, W1.1, W1.2, W2.1.1, where F means that this line specifies a folder, and W creates a work type.
1.1, 2.1, 2.1.1 - specifies the nesting of folders, i.e. F2.1.1 will be nested in F2.1, and that in turn in F2.
W2.1.1 - means that the work type should be created inside the F2.1.1 folder
Attention! W2.1.1 can and should be repeated for all work types that are placed in one folder, i.e. it is not increased by the last digit - this is not a sequential number, but a pointer to the location of the work type.
- The “Code” column indicates the job code.
- The “Description” column indicates the name of the folder or type of work.
- The “Unit” column indicates the unit of measurement for the type of work (m/m2/m3/pcs/kg/t/set/%). Units of measurement are not specified for the folder.
- The “Rate” column indicates the price per unit of work.
Conditions for creating a PN:
- The “Condition” column specifies the condition AND.
- The “Category” column specifies the name of the tab in which the property for the condition is located.
- The “Property” column specifies the property required for the condition.
- The “Value” column specifies the value of the property.
- The “Type” column specifies the operator (Equals: =), (Not equal: !=), (Contains: ?), (Does not contain: !?), (Defined: d), (Undefined: !d), (Greater than: >), (Greater than or equal to: >=), (Less than: ** <**), (Less than or equal to: <=).
Note: The “Condition”, “Category”, “Property”, “Value”, and “Type” columns specify one additional condition by which search sets will be created. Specify these columns as many times as there are additional conditions you want to add.
This setting collects favorite properties in one place that help in creating conditions for activity types and can be uploaded to BIM-Link to simplify finding only the properties you need.
