Box library

This article covers the Box library settings in the company profile in Dalux.

Box library

The Box library can be found in:

Standardization Libraries 'Box library'

Folder structures

In folder structures, you can create one or several folder structures that can be used in projects or project standards. The easiest way to create folder structures for the company profile is to create them from existing projects. 

This is done with:

Create from project Select the project from which you wish to copy the folder structure from 'Confirm' Name the folder structure 'Create'.

This copies the folder structure. If needed the folder structure can be edited by clicking Edit.

Folder structures can also be created one folder at a time, by clicking Add.

'Files' will always be the top folder in the folder structure. Sub-folders are created for the selected folder in the list. In the example below, the folder '0. Drawing List' is selected, so clicking Add will add a sub-folder to '0. Drawing List'.

Each change is saved automatically. When done you can close the window.

File library

In the 'File library' you can create a collection of files that can be imported to projects or project standards. This could for instance be code of conduct documentation, safety instructions, or guides used across different projects.

The file library can be organized in folders and file versions are updated automatically if files are updated.

Files added to a project standard are automatically added when projects are created with the project standard.

Files can also be manually added to projects. This is done in a Box folder, by clicking More, and then Import from and selecting the company from the list.

This opens the company file library and files can be imported to the project.

Comment types

You can set up comment types in the Box library, and add these types to a project standard. To set up a comment type go to 'Comment types.

Here you create comment types the same way as when creating them on a project. You can read more about how to set up comments in this article: How to set up Comments.

You can then import the comment types to project standards by clicking Import and selecting them from the list.

Model validation templates

In Model Validation Templates, you can create one or more templates to be used in project standards. 
New templates for the company profile can only be created by copying them from existing projects

Go to 'Model validation templates' Add Type in a name Select the project you want to import the standard from 'Save'.

Once created, templates can be renamed or deleted. This will not affect existing projects using the templates, only new projects will be impacted. Remember to update your project standards to reflect any changes.
