Importing topology elements from another project

Reading time


Fenix ​​+ 3 applicatopn allows you to import topology elements (buildings, floors) from one project to another. Using this feature, you can speed up the creation of large projects by dividing the work between several users, as well as quickly copy created topology elements to another project. This feature is particularly convenient in cases where the project type was chosen incorrectly or when several buildings need to be combined into one project for calculating fire distances.

You can import topology elements to the following elements:

  1. Master plan.

You can only import an entire building onto the master plan. For the import, you can select one or more buildings from a single topology.

  1. Building.

You can import an entire building or individual floors onto the selected building. If the entire building is imported, all properties of the imported building are automatically applied to the current building.

  1. Floor.

You can only import an individual floor onto a floor. In this case, only elements located on the imported floor are imported. The imported elements retain their properties. The properties of the floor onto which the import is made remain unchanged.

To import topology elements do the following:

  1. Right-click on the name of the element onto which you need to perform the import in the project tree.

  2. In the context menu that opens, select the Import option.
