In VertiGIS FM, a building construction refers to a type of component that is associated with an object directly connected to a building, construction stage, floor, or room. Examples include walls, roofs, and façades.
An individual building construction is referred to as a component. When you create a component within a building construction group, it can then be applied to a building, construction stage, floor, or room. Components are organized into groups that share properties on a building construction details page.
Groups
Building construction groups are accessed by clicking Building Constructions under Actions on the VertiGIS FM Buildings start page.
