How Integrator Builds 3D Data

In the Main Table or Diagram Viewer select the objects you want to build, then select Context Menu > Build. You can also select Build in the Integrator Main Bar Menu. These options are described in the Main Table Context Menu in Integrator Controls.

You can also initiate Build from the Command Line. This process is described in How to use Integrator from the Command Line.

When the Integrator builds in 3D it carries out a set of actions under the control of the Configuration Rules. The rules are described in detail in How to Configure Build Rules.

Note: Integrator can build in the current SITE and ZONE if there is no rule to define the SITE or ZONE. In order to get Integrator to build in the current ZONE, use the Main Table Context Menu > Build. If you click in the Diagram Viewer to use its context menu, the current element will be changed to the schematic object, and Integrator will no longer be able to build in your intended ZONE.

Note: On build, Integrator automatically copies over the value of any attribute that appears on both the schematic and 3D object, for example, Description. The exact set of attributes varies according to type. You can suppress this by creating an Assign Rule for that type and attribute and setting its Build Action to ignore. Refer to How to Configure Build Rules for more detail.
