Application Modes within PARAGON
To facilitate working within the PARAGON GUI certain menu options will become available to the user depending on what application is active.
Applications are selected via the PARAGON menu from the main task bar.
The available application selections are:
•
General
•
Pipework
•
Structures
•
Spec Generator
•
Electrical
•
Equipment
The General selection contains common toolsets which are available throughout PARAGON. Selecting any other option will expand on the available toolsets providing access to features specific to that application.
When working within an application such as Pipework or Structures, the PARAGON GUI uses multi-purpose windows. For example it is possible create either a Pipework or Structures Specification from the same window by selecting the desired Purpose.
In the above figure the Create Specification World window has the Purpose set to PIPE which would create an SPWL element in the Catalogue database with its Purpose attribute set to PIPE. However it is possible to change the Purpose to another value, these are as follows:
•
STL
•
PIPE
•
BRAN
•
REDU
•
HVAC
•
EQUI
•
ROOM
•
TRAY
•
CORE
•
REPR
Depending on the application currently selected in PARAGON a default selection will be made, for example PIPE will be selected by default when in the PARAGON Pipework application.
Selecting the Use Defined Storage Area check box allows elements to be added to a defined storage area. For details of storage areas refer to Storage Areas.
In most cases it is possible to discard an action by clicking Cancel.
