A work pack represents a logical and manageable division of work within its owning work area or pack. Work packs can own work packs according to the project needs. For example, the project could contain construction work packs at one level and installation work packs below them.
Use the Modify Work Pack window to manage the content of a work pack.

Name
Specifies the name of the work pack.
Work Pack Type
Specifies the type of the work pack.
Discipline
Specifies the discipline of the work pack.
Pack Items
Displays the available items and the items included in the work pack.
Available Items
Available items are derived from the owning work area or work pack, adjusted to display the types according to their work pack type. For example, if the available items are from a volume collection that includes branches (as the significant element for geometry) but the work pack type includes pipes, then the available items grid displays pipes and not branches.
Work Pack Items
Work pack items are those selected to be in the work pack. Items included in the work pack are highlighted red in the 3D view.
