CAD hierarchy

The nodes in the CAD hierarchy define the relationship between the mappings that are used when TRIRIGA® CAD Integrator/Publisher interacts with the TRIRIGA environment. The nodes are also used for navigation in TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher.

Each CAD hierarchy structure has a top-level node that is the starting point in an application definition. The defined mapping specifies the type of TRIRIGA record that a CAD drawing can be attached to. The parent nodes of the top-level node provide a contextual, hierarchical view that appears in the Attach Drawing or the Smart Attach window. TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher users navigate through the contextual nodes to locate the node to use to attach the CAD drawing file.

For example, a drawing file of floor 1 of the Atlas building in Dallas attaches to the floor 1 record in the TRIRIGA environment. The Dallas property, Atlas building, and floor 1 records must exist in the TRIRIGA environment. In the Attach Drawing window, users navigate to Dallas location > Atlas building > floor 1 and attach the drawing file.

The child nodes of the top-level node are items that users can attach drawing objects to. For example, in the floor 1 drawing, users can attach spaces or area overlays in the drawing to records. Users can create the space and area overlay records by uploading the child objects from TRIRIGA CAD Integrator/Publisher.

If your TRIRIGA environment does not support subspaces, remove the subspace node from the application definition that you use.
