Import Guide Tab

Use this tab as guidance in processing your uploaded family prior to project-level import. This ensures that your imported content aligns with Specpoint's requirements.

The Guide tab is available on the Import page for your active project. Use this tab to learn about your uploaded family in terms of its compatibility with Specpoint's prescribed formatting and content structure. Each aspect of formatting has an equivalent step, which pertains to a preparation or adjustment that you should make to your family. This feature guides you in the following steps of the import processing workflow:
  1. Resolve needs attention items.
  2. Resolve caution items.
  3. Set associations with assemblies.
  4. Apply MasterSpec styles to your family.
  5. Verify the family's converted product types.
  6. Verify the manufacturers in the family's product types.

This tab also displays a summary of the steps that you completed. For each step, Specpoint assigns a score that adds to the net Import Score of your uploaded family. Refer to this score to quickly gain insight on your uploaded family contents' compatibility and correctness.
