To create a building, right-click on an area node or an existing building node in the Equipment View and select the Add Building option from the menu.
The Building Information window is then displayed:

Enter the details of the building and click Save to add it to the Equipment View.
The button next to the Status field displays a window in which the Status pick list can be edited.
If the building is to be shared with AVEVA Instrumentation, click Share the Building with Instrumentation.
Note:
Unless sharing with AVEVA Instrumentation is enabled for the project the checkbox will be disabled. Sharing with AVEVA Instrumentation may be enabled during project setup, or afterwards (using the Project tab > Edit Project option). Refer to the Installation User Guide for further information.
Note:
Buildings shared with AVEVA Instrumentation can be viewed in AVEVA Instrumentation but not edited.
