Using Room Parameters in Print Templates

Provides a step-by-step guide on how to use room parameters to customize print templates for output from LINEAR Building.

Before you begin

You want to use room parameters in a print template to include room data in printouts.

Requirements

You know the names of the parameters, which you can view in LINEAR Building, for example, via the Property Sets dialog in the Available Parameters section or via the Configuration dialog in the Available Parameters section. There, you can copy the parameter names.

Attention: Before editing the print layout file (*.prx), make a copy of the file. If necessary, remove the write protection from the print template file you want to edit.
