Microstation > Project Configuration > Bentley Building Products

To ensure that a project modelled using Structural Modeller (or other supported Bentley Building products) is protected from future changes to the base dataset, CAD Managers are advised to copy a number of these files into the project CAD area. This is to ensure that any future 2d drawing extractions and extra modelling give the same result as when the original work was undertaken. CADtools Structural (or other supported Bentley Building products) will rely on a number of these files being in the project area.

For Structural Modeller, these files and their purpose are noted below. Other building products may share some of these files.

Filename	Purpose	Location
Structural_shapes.xml	Contains definition of Structural sections	{Project Settings Folder}\ CADtools_Ustn\Triforma\tf_si\data\
stfDrawings.rul	2d drawing extraction re-symbolisation rules	{Project Settings Folder}\ CADtools_Ustn\Triforma\stf_si\rules\
stf3dAnnotations.rul	3d Model annotations	{Project Settings Folder}\ CADtools_Ustn\Triforma\stf_si\rules\
si_parts.xml stf_si_parts.xml ifc_si_parts.xml	Metric (SI) parts and family definitions	{Project Settings Folder}\ CADtools_Ustn\Triforma\stf_si\parts\ and {Project Settings Folder}\ CADtools_Ustn\Triforma\tf_si\parts\
BB_FloorMaster_DEMTemplates.dgn	Floormaster definition file, used for defining project ACS planes. Also used for Drawing extraction templates.	{Project Settings Folder}\ CADtools_Ustn\Triforma\floors\
Various files/folders	Settings files used during Structural Modellers automated creation of grids, drawings, sections etc.	{Project Settings Folder}\ CADtools_Ustn\Triforma\stf_si\drawings\

Other configuration files may be added to this list in future.
