Sets Tab

The Sets tab contains a single representation of each set in the project.

Overview

• Sets are groupings (packages) of components or miscellaneous items.
• Sets are used as a convenience for reporting and viewing because the entire set is displayed as a single line item in Plans/Elevations.
• Items in sets can be arranged into stacking order and sub-banded.
• Items can be manually added to a set by dragging and dropping from the Components or Miscellaneous Items tree.
• The Component and Miscellaneous Items trees on the Sets tab contain the exact items as on the Components tab and Miscellaneous Items tab.
• Sort Order: The order that the items appear on the tree can be set to Alphanumeric or to match the same order as exists on the Components tab and Miscellaneous Items tab based on a user setting.
• The selected sort order should be saved and reused in future sessions.
• When items are added to the set tree by dragging and dropping from the Components or Miscellaneous Items trees, they are not removed from the Components or Miscellaneous Items trees.  
• You can drag and drop quantities for items from the Components and Sets trees; quantities are initially set to 1.
• You can manually adjust quantities for items by highlighting an item and editing the Quantity.
• Quantities for Sets are based on the number of elevations that reference the set on the Plans/Elevations tab. For more details, see Plans/Elevations.

Components and Miscellaneous Items may appear in a set one or more times; they may appear in multiple sets and may appear independently in a Plan/Elevation.
