Component Tools Overview
Click
to access Component Tools which provide a robust set of features applicable to components within a project.To view project components, click the
>next to a project which expands the view and displays all components..
Copy Components
Copy the selected components to the selected Project. The components' Settings will be updated to match those of the destination Project. The selected components will remain in their original Project.
Move Components
Move the selected components to the selected Project. The components' Settings will not be modified, and the components will no longer be included in their original Project.
Download
A multitude of download options are available which include:
Engineering Report
A .csv file of design criteria and analysis data for the selected components.
Engineering Report Example
Material Report
A summary of all of the materials in all of the selected components and the costs of the materials and labor required to produce them. Output is available in .pdf or .csv.
Materials Report: Simple PDF Example
Materials Report: Detailed CSV Example
Lumber Pick List
A simple list of the types and quantities of lumber included in the selected components.
Lumber Pick List Example
Plate Pick List
A simple list of the types and quantities of plates included in the selected components.
Shop Drawings
Drawings with the material and dimension information required to produce a component. Optionally includes a component schematic, separate cut sheets for each component, or cut sheets where pieces that are similar among the selected components are combined

TRE Files - Truss files that can be read by some applications and automated saws
TRS Machinery Files - Truss files that can be read by some automated saws
CYB Files - Truss files that can be read by some automated saws
BVN Files - Truss files that can be read by some automated saws
Request Seals
Create a Seal Job in Paragon Review that includes Truss Design Drawings for the selected components.
Request Repair
Create a Repair Job in Review that includes Truss Design Drawings for the selected components.
Production Group Tools
Production Group tools are used in conjunction with the Paragon Production and Scheduling apps.
Production Groups are collections of one or more components that can be assigned to a Production Line. Production Lines consist of one or more stations.
Create Production Group
To create a production group, select one or more components from the Components List and populate the fields as needed.
When creating a Production Group, it is possible to use the component quantities from the project or overwrite with user-defined values.
Add to Production Group
Add components to an existing Production Group by selecting one or more ungrouped components from the Components List.
A component can only belong to a single production group. Attempting to add a grouped component to a Production Group will result in an error.
Manage Production Groups
Use Manage Production Groups to review and modify the following:
Project ID
Project Short Name
Building Type
Building Instance
Level
It is also possible to duplicate an existing Production Group from this dialog.
Replace Production Components
Use Replace Production Components to replace all instances of the matched component name. The original quantity of the component being replaced will be preserved.
