New Position

There are two ways to create a new position:

Method 1: Via Toolbar

1. Click on "Add Position"
2. Select the parent group
3. Fill in the fields:
   • Code - Position number (e.g. "310.001")
   • Short text - Description
   • Quantity - Amount
   • Unit - UoM (m2, pcs, etc.)
   • UP - Unit price
4. The TP (total price) is calculated automatically

Method 2: From Properties Panel

Create positions directly from BIM element properties:

1. Select a BIM element in the 3D viewer
2. The Properties Panel opens on the right
3. Navigate to a Property Set (e.g. "Pset_WallCommon")
4. Click on a Property Key (e.g. "FireRating", "LoadBearing")
5. Click on "New Position..."
6. In the modal:
   • The short text is automatically filled from the property value
   • Pset Lookup: Click on the icon to browse and insert other property values from the element
   • Select the quantity directly from the BIM data:
     • Length (m)
     • Area (m2)
     • Volume (m3)
     • Count
   • The unit is set automatically
   • Enter code and UP
   • Price Suggestion: Click on the database icon to suggest prices from the price archive
7. "Create" - The position is linked with the element

Smart Linking

With this method, the element is automatically linked with the position and the quantity is taken from the BIM data.
