Mass tree

In the upper part of the quick masses - below the tools - the objects you have derived appear in the mass tree. Before you create data, only the group is in the tree All (yellow folder symbol). Further groups can be created by the processor. You can use any number of hierarchies here. Once created, mass trees can be saved and later imported into new drawings. The objects that you derive from the drawing are then sorted below the groups.

Groups are the main structure objects in the mass tree. Groups can be used to create mass tree structures so that the individual objects can be stored clearly. Groups can be transferred to subordinate groups and objects with properties.

In the Quick-Masses you can manage and organize (create, delete, etc.) groups in different ways (menu, keyboard, mouse), e.g. by touching and moving them (with the left mouse button pressed, known as the drag & drop function from Windows Explorer ). You will find a detailed description of the editing options in the following chapter.

The function New group to create a new group can be called via the toolbox or directly in the mass tree via the right mouse button.

The following symbols are used in the mass tree:

	Group
	Group activated
	Group with assigned plants
	Group with assigned materials
	Group with assigned material and plant properties
	GAEB group
	indirectly coupled group
	Hierarchy object with direct coupling
	Position object
	Object ⁄ contour object
	Object with assigned material property
	Object with its own graphic property
	Object with deduction areas
	Object with assigned material properties and deduction area
	Object with deduction area and its own graphic property
	Object with assigned plants
	Object with assigned material and plant properties
	Object with assigned material, plant properties and deduction areas
	Single plant
	Single plant with assigned material properties
	Individual objects with material
	Material items in the specification of services (item coupling)
	3D object
	3D object with assigned material property
	3D object with its own graphic property
	3D object with deduction area
	3D object with assigned material property and deduction area
	3D object with assigned graphic property and deduction area
	3D object with assigned plant
	3D object with assigned material and plant properties
	3D object with assigned material, plant properties and extraction area
	intersection
	connected database
	record

The editing options correspond roughly to those known from other Windows applications and can be applied to groups and objects.

The Windows clipboard is not used as temporary memory, but an internal memory in the program. This means that in the Quick-Masses cut objects cannot be pasted in other programs.

If groups are edited, the functions always relate to the content. If you delete a group, for example, all objects contained in it are also deleted.

Following Features can be called via the toolbox or the right mouse button:

	cut out	Cuts objects or mass tree structures from the Quick-Masseswhich then with Insert can be reinserted into the mass tree. In the Options you can specify that only the group structure without individual objects should be cut out Copy and cut without objects.
	Copy	Copies objects or mass trees from the Quick-Masseswhich then with Insert can be reinserted into the mass tree. In the Options you can specify that only the group structure without individual objects should be copied Copy and cut without objects.
	Insert	Objects or mass tree structures that have previously been cut or copied are inserted. A multiple insertion is possible.
	Delete	From the Quick-Masses deleted objects are not removed from the drawing. For contour lines (see Contours) can do this in the Options can be optionally switched on. On the other hand, when deleting drawing objects that are in the Quick-Masses are recorded, they are also removed from the mass tree at the same time. A notice appears for this.

Im Quick-Masses You can save created mass trees either as a pure mass tree structure or as a mass tree with objects in a directory or in a library in the Quick manager export. This allows you to import and use the exported mass trees quickly and easily in other drawings or on other computers. All properties defined in the info dialog (e.g. Schedule and Label) saved. With the help of this functionality, the work becomes very effective, since standards can be defined and there is no need to re-create mass trees. A thematic mass tree structure or a mass tree structure adapted for different output scales is useful.

The function Export mass tree enables the export of the mass tree structure with or without captured objects.

1. In the quick masses, mark the point from which the mass tree should be exported.
2. Call the function with the right mouse button Data exchange> Export mass tree .
3. In the dialog you can make various settings for the export. The individual setting options are explained below.
4. With [OK] the mass tree is exported.

The function Import mass tree enables the import of the pure mass tree structure.

1. In the left window, mark the point where the mass tree should be inserted.
2. Call the function with the right mouse button Data exchange> Import mass tree .
3. Select the one to import mbd-File.
4. The mass tree structure is inserted below the marking.

The function Import mass tree with objects enables the import of the complete mass tree including the exported objects.

1. In the left window, mark the point from which the mass tree should be inserted.
2. Call the function with the right mouse button Data exchange> Import mass tree with objects .
3. Select the one to import mbdFile.
4. Specify the insertion point for the objects. Will this with the EnterButton, the objects are inserted as in the original.
5. The mass tree is inserted with the objects below the marking.

In order to demonstrate the universal usability of the Quick masses, two sample mass trees are included in the scope of delivery of the Quick masses.

The mass trees include labels, graphics and documentation (see Quick-Masses) assigned. By capturing objects or contours in the Quick dimensions, documents for planning can be created very easily. The mass tree Home garden is very suitable for the implementation of simple and smaller planning projects. For a cost calculation, choose the mass tree Cost estimate.

To use one of these mass trees, go to the top entry in the Quick Masses All. Then select with the right mouse button: Data exchange> Import mass tree and select in the user directory of DATAflor CAD the desired mdbFile.

In the second step, the drawing objects are recorded and stored in the relevant groups. As soon as the objects are in the group, the object takes on the defined properties.

A summary or the details of the cost and area composition can be generated in the quick dimensions. To do this, select with the right mouse button Data exchange> Excel.

The compilation in the Excel file depends on how you opened the tree.
