Adding Building and Site Plans to Quadpro
Quadpro allows you to store all of your site and building plans in one easy to access place. This can be accessed via your folder short cuts on the Quadpro home screen.
The next step is usually completed by Quadpro or your IT team.
Firstly, you will need to set up the link between Quadpro and the Building/Site plans folder. This is very simple to do.
Extend the preferences tab to show the full list and click on Graphics Paths.
Once you are in the Graphics Paths window, you will have a list of file paths alongside their relative categories.
The paths you need to set up are highlighted below.
Building Plans:
Building plans should be stored in the Building Plans folder under the following naming convention.
Building Code – 2 – 1
The second number ascends with each plan that you add. So for our test building, Lander Block (LANB) the first plan would be.
LANB-2-1
Followed by
LANB-2-2
Building Photos:
Building Photos should be stored in the Building Photos folder under the following naming convention:
Building Code – 1 – 1
