To add the compartment elements specified in a compartment typical, double-click on the compartment row. The Compartment Detail window is then displayed (refer to Add and Edit Compartments).
Note:
When a compartment typical is specified for a compartment, any compartment elements
already specified for that compartment, including default connector elements, are
deleted and replaced by the elements defined in the compartment typical.
Click on the button next to the Compartment Typical field. The Select from Catalogue window is then displayed:

The window lists the compartment typicals from the Compartment Typicals Catalogue. Double-click on the required typical, or click on it and then click Select.
The Select from Catalogue window then closes and the selected typical is displayed in the Compartment Typical field in the Compartment Detail window. For example:

Click OK. The compartment is then populated with the elements defined for the typical. For example:

-
Once a compartment typical has been defined for a compartment, individual elements cannot be added to the compartment, nor can additional compartment typicals be selected.
-
To replace the compartment typical with a different compartment typical, repeat the above procedure and select a different typical.
-
To remove the compartment typical without replacing it with another typical, access the Select from Catalogue window and click the None button, then click the OK button of the Compartment Detail window.
The following message is then displayed:

-
To delete the typical and its elements from the compartment, click No.
-
To unassign the typical from the compartment, but without deleting the elements, click Yes. If this option is selected, the "typical" elements are replaced with individual compartment elements with the same details as the typical elements.
