Create typicals

Rather than recreating this configuration from scratch every time it is needed in a project, Giza can save it as a typical, which can then easily be reused and placed in many different drawings. To do this:

1. Select the entire workstation, including the panels.
   
   

2. Right-click on one of the highlighted symbols and choose Utilities, Make Typical.
   
   
   
   

3. In the Make Typical dialog, assign a name to the typical in the File field.
   
   

4. Under Make Typical From, choose Selected Elements.
   
   
   
   

5. The next step is to set an Origin Point. The Origin Point is the point in the typical where the cursor will be attached. This provides a visual reference when you place the typical.
   
   Under Origin, select Choose Point.
   
   

6. Click this icon to the right of Choose Point.
   
   

7. Move the center of the crosshairs cursor inside the panels in the upper left corner.
   
   

8. Right-click to set the Origin Point.
   
   

9. In the Save Typical dialog box click Save.

Note: When choosing the origin point for a typical it is important to consider how these typicals will be connecting to each other. The point selected should be at the corner of a worksurface where it attaches to a panel, usually a panel that will act as a spine wall.
