Each template is assigned into each group by setting the :MDSHangGroup attribute value on each template support zone.
It is important to note that the selected value defines the selection and build criteria for the support. For example, a type 19 support restricts build picks to civils elements, two picks are required and the template configuration in Paragon must be set to include compatible configurations for the Top, Middle and Bottom component selections. Additionally, the associated design template must be built in accordance with the T, M and B codes. (refer to Hanger Data for further information).
