NOTE You cannot mix basic category types. For example, you cannot create a
construct subcategory within the Views category or an element subcategory within
the Sheets category.
Your Constructs tab might look like this:
The Benefits of Categories
Categories offer optimal organization and transparency. Even small building
projects contain a large number of individual drawings that are difficult to
track. Putting them into descriptive categories helps you quickly find the
correct files.
Categories help you to assemble views. When you create views of your building
data, you can use categories as selection or filter criteria. For example, for a
complete view of framing constructs in your building, you could set up a view
that references a Framing subcategory, thereby referencing all drawing files
from that category. If you add more framing construction to the Framing
category later, the view is updated to include the appropriate constructs. For
more information, see Creating a View Drawing: Selecting the Constructs on
page 442.
Methods of Creating Categories
You can create categories on the Project Navigator palette or in Windows
Explorer as described in the topics that follow.
