Description:
The Conversion from older techniques to the CBI technique is usually planned in several construction phases. In a construction phase, the elements are represented in the plan as follows:
oElements to be installed are displayed in the color Red.
oElements to be dismantled are displayed in the color Yellow.
oElements of the Current Inventory are displayed in their inventory color, which is defined by the corresponding layer.
oDismantled Elements are displayed in the color Dark red.
oArea Objects are usually not displayed in the installation color during insertion, but they are displayed in the removal color during removal. For example: after a reorientation, the area objects have to be re-located at the installed edges, so that the previous position of the area objects is easier to recognize.
The Editing of the PSO for construction stages is possible via the group 'Construction Stages - EPU' in the ribbon 'ProSig EPU'. For the representation of objects in a certain construction stage, it is necessary to ensure first that the construction stage exists in the project. After setting the Construction stage, the existing Object data can be edited for this construction stage depending on the required representation.
Procedure:
1.In the Setting up Planning Project, construction stages 0 and 1 are generated automatically. The construction stages can be viewed and switched via the ribbon.
Ribbon: ProSig EPU -> Construction Stages - EPU -> Setting the Processing frame
Illus.: The 'Setting the Processing frame' drop-down list is opened, after creating the project.
oConstruction stage 0 is used to define and update the inventory data.
In this construction stage, customization's can be made in the drawing without being interpreted by the program as construction stage changes.
oConstruction stage 1 is used as the default for editing the project with construction stages.
In construction stage 1, like all other construction stages, the inserting or updating of elements is represented as installed. When elements are deleted, they are displayed as dismantled.
oBy setting the processing frame to a specific construction stage via the drop-down list, the PSO's are displayed accordingly in the drawing.
2.To Define further construction stages or to edit existing construction stages, it is possible to call the Bauzustandseditor via the arrow at the bottom right of the group 'Construction Stages - EPU'.
Ribbon: ProSig EPU -> Construction Stages - EPU -> Arrow at the bottom right margin
Illus.: Bauzustandseditor
oThe Construction stages 0 and 1 are automatically created with their Construction stage number (A) as soon as the project is created. The Construction stage number is displayed in the ribbon 'Setting the Processing frame' drop-down list.
oThe Assignment of the attribute 'Description' (B) is optional. The description will be displayed in the drop-down list 'Setting the Processing frame'.
oThe Attribute 'BZIndex' (C) is automatically assigned during the creation of a construction stage. The BZIndex is used as the basis for sorting the construction stages and determines the display of the construction stages in the 'Set the Processing frame' drop-down list.
3.To Define a new construction stage for the project, first select a construction stage in the construction stage editor. Subsequently a new construction stage can be inserted by clicking the button 'Paste' (E) behind the marked construction stage. For the newly created construction stage, at least the information of the Construction stage number (A) should be entered in order to simplify the later selection in the drop-down list 'Set the Processing frame'

oAfter closing the dialog, the construction stages are sorted according to their BZIndex and displayed in the drop-down list 'Setting the Processing frame' or when the construction stage editor is switched on again.
4.The Button 'Delete' (F) can be used to delete an existing construction stage. Objects that have been modified in the deleted construction stage must be re-examined in the subsequent construction stages.
5.In order to edit the data of a PSO for a certain construction stage, the processing frame has to be set to the desired construction stage via the drop-down list 'Setting the Processing frame'. Subsequently, the changes relevant for this construction stage can be executed at the PSO. The Changes are displayed directly in the drawing. Some examples are given in the following table.

6.Using the buttons 'Insertion', 'Removal' and 'Deleted' in the ProSig ribbon, it is possible to display or hide installed, dismantled or deleted objects (which were removed in the previous construction stage).
Illus.: Buttons for the representation of the Construction Stage Objects
oDepending on the current representation, the objects to be installed can be displayed or hidden in the drawing using the button 'Insertion' (F).
When the screen of the signal on the button is filled in, the objects to be installed are displayed.
When the screen of the signal on the button is hollow, the objects to be installed are hidden.
