The process to add Doors, Windows, & Furniture to the central library is similar to uploading materials. However, users need to ensure they have the necessary file formats of .skp, .obj, .fbx, etc., for the Door, Window, and Furniture files to upload.
Note: To upload RFAs for Doors, Windows & Furniture refer to Importing Revit RFAs to Snaptrude.
Default Properties Display:
Upon uploading, you will see all the default properties for Doors, Windows, and Furniture displayed in columns
Add Furniture Component:
To add a furniture component to the library, click on the “Upload Furniture” button.
A window opens, upload the files from your computer or drag & drop them in there. Choose the relevant room category. You can upload multiple files together as well.
Once the furniture is added, you can edit any of its properties from the displayed columns.
Create New Property Parameter:
Click on “Add new property” to create a new parameter
A window will appear for you to fill in details such as the parameter name and its type
Type in the parameter name and select the desired type from the available options
Click on ‘Add property’ to include the new parameter
To edit the custom property, right click on the name & you can either edit or delete it as required.
Add New Room Category:
To add a new room category, go to the dropdown from the respective column.
Click on the ‘+ Add Type’ sign to create a new room category.
Assign the new category to other furnitures or delete it by clicking on the ‘x’. Note that before deleting any category make sure no furniture is associated with it.
Finally, To rename, delete, or duplicate any element, right-click on the name and select the desired action.
Follow the same steps to upload Doors & Windows.
