A recommended file naming convention for use with Structural Modeller is as follows:

Filename	Purpose	Location
TM_*.dgn	The 3d model, broken down into areas of the building, usually by floor	{Project CAD files folder}\triforma_model\
TS_*.dgn	2d drawing extractions generated from the model	{Project CAD files folder}\triforma_sections\

CADtools Structural uses this folder structure to locate the default destination of the extracted drawings ( i.e. From the location of the 3d model, go up one directory, then back down one directory into triforma_sections and create extracted drawing there)

Eg. 2d extractions from a model in J:\123000\123456-00\4 Internal Project Data\4-03 Drawings\S_Structural\triforma_model\ will be placed in J:\123000\123456-00\4 Internal Project Data\4-03 Drawings\S_Structural\triforma_sections\
