Block Types

Four types of block are available:

• Building Blocks are used to draw the model or a section of the model.
• Outline Blocks are used to help in the creation of building block geometry and do not affect the model.
• Component Blocks are used to create visual and shading structures which do not contain zones.
• Assembly Block are assemblies of component blocks, typically used for modelling building details and equipment in CFD or for more complex façade shading structures.

Tip: If you find you have accidentally created a block of the wrong type, you can convert it the required type using the Convert Blocks tool.
