Typology Options

From Opera Wiki

The Typology Options table

N.B: To access this window in Opera Job Management: from the Archives menu, select the Typology Options button.

In this table, the operator can directly create Groups and Options. The purpose of this function is to define a series of accessories with the same function but different characteristics, and therefore different Options. Accessories included in the same Group allow the operator, when designing a window or door in a job, to quickly select the accessory type according to the characteristics of the structure or the customer's requirements.

NOTE:
The table is also filled in automatically by the program when the operator creates options from the Structure definition window.
