Logical Part Subtype

This section describes the Logical Part Subtype tables and how you can customize them.

This page discusses:

Overview

This resource file is a discrete list of all the logical subtypes of parts and provides the list of families to which 2D symbols of parts can be typed.

In Data Setup, this table of values should be assigned to:

  • when using file-based tables, the Logical Part Subtype item in the resource table of HVAC Discipline Resources with a Standard criteria.
  • when using Engineering Specification objects, the Logical Part Subtype item in the resource table of HVAC Specification Resources with a Standard criteria.

Table Description

All the attribute values must be of the type string.

File-Based Table

A typical Logical Part Subtype file-based table is shown below:
