Overview
• Pre-defines the attribute fields to be output in the PROPERTY SET sheet of InfoX Sheet.
• Using the object information in InfoX Sheet, you can freely configure the field structure, value reference method, and target object types for the Property Set.
• Property Sets at the level required by the client are provided as Predefined, so a ready-to-use attribute structure can be output immediately with a single Generate without any additional configuration.
• Fields can be modified or added as needed to customize the configuration for each project.
Note
Fields defined in Edit Default Property Set are reflected in the PROPERTY SET sheet of InfoX Sheet.
To define quantity-related fields, use Edit Default Quantity Set.
Note
Default Property Set is a batch configuration applied per object Category. To set individual properties for specific objects, use one of the following methods:
– Add properties to individual objects in the USER PSET sheet of the InfoX Sheet
– Use the [Data] Tab > Custom Field feature
Execute
[Base Mode]
• Ribbon Menu > [Base] Tab > [Property] Group > Information > Generate > Edit Default Property Set

– Level 2 : Select a detailed item classified under the top-level type
The detailed items correspond to the category-specific headers in InfoX Sheet.

Note
Pre-Defined Values are classified into the following 5 categories.
- General : Basic identification and classification properties of objects
- Geometric : Shape and dimension properties of objects
- Quantity : Quantity calculation properties of objects
- Structure Level :
L01~L0X : Structure Code defined at each level
(e.g., L01 = Structure Code "F11101" defined in Level 1)
If no Code is entered in the Structure, the field will not be defined
even if it is added to the Pset.
UnifiedCode : A combination of Structure Codes from the top level to the assigned level
- Sub Property : List of defined Sub-Properties
• Unit
When using a Pre-Defined Value, the unit is determined automatically.
User Unit (Off) : The user selects the unit manually. Available units vary by item, such as length (mm / m / in / ft), volume, and weight.
User Unit (On) : Manually enters a user-defined unit.
• Description
Enter a text description for the field. It is displayed in the Description column of the PROPERTY SET sheet.
Category
Select the object types to which the field will be applied. Multiple selections are available via checkboxes.
Member : Concrete / Steel / User Defined
Others : Tendon / Stiffener / Bolt / Layout / Terrain
Note
The field is output in the PROPERTY SET sheet only for the object types selected in Category.
For example, a field with only Concrete and Steel selected will not be applied to the PROPERTY SET sheet of Tendon or Bolt objects.
