Uniformat Assembly Codes

You can assign a Uniformat assembly code and description in the Type properties of all model elements.
When you click the Assembly code value, a button appears. Click it, and a dialog appears containing a
hierarchical list of Uniformat codes assigned by R.S. Means. The list is filtered automatically by category.
For example, if you are looking at the type properties of a wall and click the button to view the Uniformat
codes, you see only the Uniformat codes related to walls. You have the option to choose a different category
or all categories to see a different set of Uniformat codes.
When you select a code and click OK, the code appears in the Assembly code property, and the corresponding
description appears in the Assembly description property.
Assembly Code and Assembly Description are schedulable fields. As a result, you can create a schedule that
groups components by Uniformat code, for example.
