Gemini Metrix Properties

Use this dialog to specify which files should represent estimated and executed quantities when registering to Gemini Metrix. The dialog lets you link estimated and executed files, create an executed file from an estimated file, and shows which files are linked.

Where do I find the dialog?

On the toolbar, select Gemini Metrix Properties...

Using the dialog

On the left side of the dialog, the files in the active drawing are listed. Use this to specify Type and Interval for the individual files. By right-clicking you have access to Create executed and Create executed and link from files with Type Estimated.

Use the buttons Link and Unlink to specify files of type Executed and Estimated that together form a pair.

On the right side of the dialog, an overview of these file pairs is shown in the Linked models field.
