This panel is used to create building structures with the following elements:
- Buildings
- Functions (at the corresponding operation location in the Building - structure)
- Trades
The flexible building and trades structures help in organizing and managing devices in ETS projects and installation workflow. The Buildings panel presents the ETS project from the perspective of the installation.
After creation of the building structure, which represents the real physical building structure, this panel allows you to place the devices into the individual elements of the building structure. The following table gives an overview of the available building structure elements together with their usage.
