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** {% file src="/files/EUnwCo5smN6AHVuupbXM" %} ### **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 {% file src="/files/HnJoIA3jpYTNYaM7GUqt" %} #### Materials Report: Detailed CSV Example {% file src="/files/fhoky9cMNrDlmWAvtpLl" %} ### **Lumber Pick List** A simple list of the types and quantities of lumber included in the selected components.

#### Lumber Pick List Example {% file src="/files/cn7PoGJnAEopgUZI3byg" %} ### **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

#### Shop Drawing Options

#### **Shop Drawing Example** {% file src="/files/kN3Nq3W37hIOc3TNtsGK" %} ### **Truss Design Drawings** Preview the truss design drawings. For example, these are the drawings that will be submitted when you Request Seals.

#### Truss Design Drawing Options

#### Truss Design Drawing Example {% file src="/files/Rqa7hRSlQBXz6vfcIwIu" %} ### **Automated Machinery Files** * **TPS Files** - Describes the profile of a truss. Can be read by some laser projectors * **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.

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.paragontruss.com/projects/getting-started/component-tools.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
