To save an item to the database, it must first be present in the project's layout.
To save the imported 3D elements within the project, follow these steps:
1. Once the item is inserted into the project, right click on it to launch the context menu, then choose Add to database.
2. Fill in the required information as follows:
- Item Code (mandatory): the code that will be displayed on the estimate.
- Variant (mandatory): this field is used to enter items with the same Item Code. For example, if you want to use the item code "SGA1" for all stools, specify a different alphanumeric value for each one. (If not necessary, you can use "0").
- Internal Code (not mandatory): similar to the Variant field, this is used by companies that have an internal code different from the one in the catalog.
- Supplier (mandatory): indicate the supplier (or manufacturer) of the item you are saving. Click the button with the three dots to select a supplier/manufacturer from the list, or create a new one. To create a new supplier/manufacturer, first enter the name and code, then click Add.
- Description (mandatory): a description of the item that will be displayed on the estimate.
- Series (not mandatory): indicates the collection associated with the supplier, to be used if you want to catalog the item more comprehensively.
- Destination (not mandatory): the environment to which the item belongs, selected from those available in the menu.
- Typology (mandatory): indicate the type of item by choosing from those listed in the menu. If you want to differentiate your items from existing ones, you can enter a new type directly into the field.
- Subtype (not mandatory): to be used if you want to catalog the item more precisely.
- Elevation (not mandatory): you can set the height at which the item will be positioned each time it is inserted.
These details will help correctly catalog the object in the database.
3. You can also add a preview image of the object if you wish to replace the one automatically generated by the program (the image must be a jpg file with a size of 320 x 320 pixels).
You can also add an element to the database without inserting it into a project first.
Follow these steps:
1. Go to the DATABASE section of the Ribbon
2. Select Element management > New
3. Fill in the required information as described in the previous procedure.
