Understanding Buildings

In Ediphi, Buildings help organize your project by grouping different structures or sections. By setting up distinct Buildings, you can easily configure floors and vertical transportation, making project management more efficient. Think of Buildings as an extension of the Area Sheet, providing a more structured way to navigate and oversee your project. Once Buildings are set up, users can seamlessly interact with them across the platform, including in Area Sheets and Unit Mix, making it easier to view and manage their contents. Additionally, assigning Use Groups to each Building further streamlines organization and improves workflow.

Using Buildings

Within an Area Sheet

Users can assign specific floors to Buildings through the Area Sheet, ensuring clear organization, especially in projects with multiple structures. This helps prevent confusion when assigning identical floors by keeping them grouped within their respective Buildings.

Use the Buildings drop-down feature to easily switch between Buildings and set up the Area Sheet for each one.

Within Unit Mix

Since the Unit Mix is based on Use Groups, Buildings are directly affected. Users must assign Units to each Building for every Use Group. For example, if an Estimate includes three Buildings, Units must be assigned separately to each one for each Use Group.

Use the Buildings drop-down feature to easily switch between Buildings and set up the Unit Mix for each one.
