Requesting design changes

During the space planning or move planning process, changes might occur to the design of a space, set of spaces, or floor plan. As a move planner, you can submit a request to modify a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing. The interior designer or CAD designer receives the request, updates the design, and publishes the updated planning drawing.

About this task

A planned drawing request is typically initiated by a move planner in the Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities environment. The move planner saves a copy of the original drawing as the planning drawing. The move planner attaches the planning drawing to the planning record and makes the requested changes to the planning drawing.

Procedure

  1. As the move planner, select Space > Plan Moves.
  2. From the Move Designer tab, select the Design Change Requests tab and click Add.
  3. In the new request, specify the details of the design change.
  4. In the Contacts section, add the necessary contact roles or assign people to the contact roles.
    The design change request must have exactly one contact role of Interior Designer.
  5. Create the draft.
  6. When you are finished, submit the request to the interior designer or CAD designer.
  7. As the interior designer or CAD designer, open the original attached drawing.
  8. Select IBM® TRIRIGA® > Drawing > Create Planning Drawing.
  9. Create the planning drawing:
    1. Select the planning application definition and capital project to use for the planning drawing.
    2. Specify the path and the file name for the copy of the original drawing. The copy is the planning drawing.
    3. From the tree, select the planning record to attach the planning drawing to, and click Create.
    4. For AutoCAD, close the original drawing.
  10. Update the planning drawing objects.
  11. Detach any removed planning objects, and attach any added planning objects to the planning records.
  12. Publish the planning drawing.

Results

After the interior designer or CAD designer completes the request, the move planner can return to the Design Change Requests tab to select the request and view the design options. Each design option contains an updated planning drawing.
