The system constructions database is a central store of constructions available for copying into projects. Materials and glazing pane types in the system constructions may also be copied. This database is accessed via the System constructions option on the View menu. You can keep the database open while you work on project constructions.
The Library constructions dialog is identical apart from the caption which displays the name of the library (e.g. “Library constructions (non-editable) [IMPACT_CMP_Dataset_V15]”). The library databases are accessed via the menu options ending in “ constructions…” under the Library (constructions and materials) option on the View menu.
This dialog works in a similar way to the main Project constructions dialog and organises the constructions using the same classes and categories. The main difference is that, unlike project constructions, system constructions may not be edited, only viewed and copied. Therefore many functions are unavailable (not shown, or disabled if shown) and a Copy construction to project option is now enabled.
