Select tile options

Bally
  • Updated

You can option tiles before or after placing them on an elevation. The Tile Tag Manager allows optioned tiles to be tagged differently, similar to the standard Captile system. The tags are shown on the tiles, in the Xsite Tile Schedule as well as the Worksheet takeoff file (Bill of Materials).

  1. Click .

  2. In the Select Symbol screen of the XSite Tile Insertion Wizard, click on the tile to be optioned.

  3. In the Option the Symbol screen, select the desired options for the tile. Note that you can resize this window.
    For step-by-step instructions on optioning, see Select options in the Options help.

  4. Click Insert.

    A unique tile tag will be automatically assigned in sequential order.  The example below shows an un-optioned tile on the left, with a tag of "AC0-2x24". The optioned tile, on the right, shows a tag of "AC1-2x24".



    Once a tile has been optioned, its tag is added to the Finish Code list box so that it can be reused. See Reuse an optioned tile.

Note: The same process can be used on tiles already inserted onto an elevation, by selecting Options from the Office menu then selecting the tile to apply options to.
