Use the "SymbolObject" tool to create a parametric object of a symbol.

The SymbolObject acts as a smart container for symbols. This allows more complex object behaviour on top of static symbols.

Functionality

The Symbol Object contains several features which you can use to:

  • Display the symbol on multiple layers at once.
  • Attach a smart label with custom fields.
  • Register relative and absolute position of the object.
  • Find out in which space/polygon it is placed.

Usage examples

  • Show shaft/stair annotations on multiple levels, originating from one source.
  • Show project coordinates.
  • Use advanced tags on your custom symbols.
  • Locate objects for detailed quantity takeoffs. For instance a list of rooms that contain baths. Each symbolobject is aware of it's location.
