Assigning Attributes
Assign attributes to entities to group them together for calculations.
\sortkey
Attributes are descriptive tags that you assign to entities in your model. Use them to identify and group elements for calculations. For example, if you used two types of columns in your model, marble and stone, by assigning marble or stone attribute tags to each column, the reports will show the totals for each type.
Enter a descriptive term for the attribute (1-10 characters). Attach the attribute to a selection group or to indicated entities. The shared attribute establishes a calculation group for purposes of report data.
You can assign an attribute (e.g., "wallpaper") to all the walls of a room or floor in one step by indicating the room or floor.
