Materials Database windowMaterial Database contains materials from DIN, ÖNORM, ETU, IBO, BPHDB.COM, Baubook/öbox, ArchiPHYSIK and ECOTECH. This window will be opened from the menu View→Data Input & Entry→Material Database and from the menu Tools→Materials Database. The main application's menu is extended with "Materials DB" menu.
By selecting required filter criteria (Source, Major type, Type and Name filter) one can reduce amount of shown materials to those currently searched for. The filter setting is retained between application executions (will be saved together with application settings).
The
context menu provides a command to reset the filter criteria (Source, Major type, Type
and Name filter) thus showing all available data without any filtering. A double-click onto a data selector (left to data fields) will
assign material properties to currently selected material element(s) of the
model. Such assignment can be executed by a drag-drop with the right
mouse button also - see below.
Functional details summarized:
Remark: Drag-Drop is being initiated with right mouse botton out of data record mark (left to data fields). Remark: For technical reasons there are some columns hidden from the user. While tabbing between the fields the text cursor might hide also - simply press the TAB key again to reveal the focus. Remark: Materials database data is stored within the file "Baustoffe.xml" within installation folder of the application and is loaded during this window is opened. You can modify this file within Excel or text editor if required. Remark: If Baubook/öbox-Data or BPHDB.COM-data is available within the Download-Folder it will be loaded during this window is opened (the load operation might lead to slight delay before the window is displayed). Materials DB menuWhile the Materials Database window is focused the main menu of the application is extended with the window specific menu "Materials DB":
Remark: To execute an update check or the download of Baubook/öbox or BPHDB.COM data an internet connection is required. Remark: Downloaded data will be saved to the
