Create Specifications in Spec Generator
-
Select Create, then select Specification while in the Spec Generator from the main window drop-down.
The Create Specification form opens:

-
Enter the Name to be assigned to the new Specification.
-
Enter a Description for the specification and select the appropriate generic and type specification.
-
Click OK to create the new specification.
Create an Empty Specification Element
In principle, you can create an empty Specification element and then modify it by reference to any specified catalogue item. In practice, you can only create Specifications for structural profiles or equipment nozzles using this method.
To create a Specification in this way (perhaps for later modification):
-
Check that you are at SPWL level.
-
Enter a meaningful Name and Description.
-
Choose the Generic Type option. It currently restricts you to choose either:
-
Equipment (with a corresponding Spec Type of Nozzles). Or
-
Structural Steel (with a corresponding Spec Type of Steel Sections, meaning Profiles).
