Content Items of Office Master Elements

For each applicable office master element, use various content items to define the element's properties and characteristics to build out custom baseline content for your A/E firm's project specifications.

The following content items are available for the following element types:

Element Type	Content Item
Assemblies	None
Subassemblies	None
Families and Product Types	Parts Articles Paragraphs Option Sets Options Text Fields Units of Measure (UOM)

As a member of the office master access group, you can customize the contents of an office master family to build out articles, paragraphs, and option sets. This enables you to customize the baseline or default starting content for all of your firm's projects and establish firm-wide standards. You can make these customizations in the office master workspace for your office master families with active work items.

Your firm's design professionals specify most of their projects' contents under families, sections, and product types. In the project workspace, they can modify paragraphs and articles to create properties and build out project requirements based on Specpoint's baseline content or based on your firm's office masters. When you use office master families, you override Specpoint's baseline content with your firm's office masters. All instances of families in your firm's projects that have active corresponding office master families will be based on their respective office master families.

Actions that you perform on content items affect other content items. When you make specific changes to your articles and paragraphs, Specpoint makes automated changes to related content items, as well as limit your actions, to preserve the structure and hierarchy of contents on this level.
