Import project data window actions
You can perform the following actions in the Import Project Data window:
-
Create - an object found in the input source does not exist in the Smart Construction database. Smart Construction creates the item.
-
Create relation - a relationship between two objects does not exist. Smart Construction creates the relationship. In the Project Configuration data, if an object in the relationship does not already exist, Smart Construction creates both the object and the relationship.
-
Modify - an object in the input source was found in the Smart Construction database but with different values for one or more properties than exist in the input source. Smart Construction modifies the object.
-
Delete - an object in the Smart Construction database did not have a matching item in the input source. Smart Construction deletes the object.
-
Hide - a construction resource is removed, but it is being used in an IWP, so Smart Construction hides the resource.
Import Project Data window validation
The following icons describe the validation for the Import Project Data window:
Icon |
Details |
---|---|
Objects that have a symbol already exist in your Smart Construction database with the same data as in the input source. |
|
Objects that have a symbol cannot be created, updated, or deleted because validation rules do not permit the change. For example, if an object had a Delete action, but a symbol, the item cannot be deleted from the database because of existing relationships or some other requirement. |
