Create a new table group element in the catalog hierarchy, the functionality is common throughout all disciplines, refer to Multi-Purpose Windows for further information. A Table Group (TABGRO element) must be created below a Specification World (SPWL).

Once the new table group administrative element is created, the TABGRO window is displayed. Refer to Selection Tables for further information.

A TABGRO must be created for the following types of selection table:

• IPSP Selection criteria for the inside surface treatment SPEC of PIPES/HVAC based in the PSPE.

• OPSP Selection criteria for the outside surface treatment SPEC of PIPES/HVAC based in the PSPE.

• FACE Selection criteria for the surface treatment SPEC based on the FACE CODE of the owning ZONE.

• GENE Generic Selection Criteria for the surface treatment SPEC.

When dealing with a Surface Treatment a TABGRO will reference a PART family listing all the surface treatments that are to be available to the project (refer to Create Part Family for

Inside and outside surface treatments can be assigned based on the PSPE attributes of the PIPE or HVAC elements. In this case, the TABGRO (Table Group) and all the TABITE elements (Table Items) must have their purpose attributes set to IPSP and OPSP.
