# Assembly Order ### Overview The Assembly Order module is an optional feature introduced in V22.01 that enables comprehensive planning and control of the construction sequence. It's designed to optimize the on-site erection process and works in tight integration with the Load Planning module. #### Core Functionality **What can be sequenced:** * Single objects (individual beams, plates) * Wall, ceiling, and roof elements * Complete components * Any combination of these (e.g., a sole plate followed by a whole wall element) The system automatically ensures that if an object belongs to an element, it can't be separately classified as a single object - preventing scheduling conflicts. #### Organizational Structure **Hierarchical sections:** You can structure the assembly order into sections at any depth: * Example: "1st construction section / 1.1 GF exterior walls / 1.2 GF interior walls" * The tree structure dramatically improves clarity for complex projects **Populating sections:** * **Manual method:** Click components in desired sequence using a convenient function * **Automated method:** Define extensive rules (e.g., "all wall elements of the ground floor, sequence according to wall number") * **Template system:** Save complete trees with sections and rules in an empty building as a template, then apply to new projects with a single button press #### Visual Control Features **Interactive editing:** * Graphically move items in the tree view * Components marked in the tree are highlighted in the 3D building * Already-placed components can be displayed differently or hidden * Full visual control at all times **Assembly simulation:** The "Present assembly order" function provides ergonomic control through a film-based visualization: * Shows erection sequence as an animated film * Can pause and play back step-by-step or in sections * Highlights the loading component being placed in both the building and on the vehicle * Visually verifies that both unloading and assembly are possible at each step #### Integration with Load Planning Since the assembly order corresponds to loading components, it has strong bidirectional integration: * Assembly order automatically transfers to the loading position * Loading position displays components in assembly order sequence * Loading status is visible in the assembly order tree * Changes during loading can inversely influence the assembly order * Both systems can be edited from either interface #### Output and Documentation **Assembly Order List:** * Generated as plain text, CSV, or Excel * Includes adjustable information scope * Lists sections and individual loading components by sequence * Shows vehicle, loading aid, and loading level information **Variables for labeling (V23.01):** Components receive position numbers reflecting their place in the assembly order: * Example: plate installed 12th in the 3rd main section, 6th subsection = "3.6.12" * Numbers can be displayed in 3D labels and plans * Enables documentation of assembly sequence directly on drawings **3D Web Viewer Export:** For contemporary site use (requires optional module): * Position shown on both vehicle and in building * Components can be graphically clicked or searched * Direct input of sorting number or QR code scanning * Assembly process playable as a film for workers #### Impact on Production The assembly order has strong implications for production control and should be considered when planning manufacturing sequences to align with site logistics. ### Strategic Value This module essentially transforms on-site erection from an ad-hoc process into a fully planned, optimized workflow that coordinates with both manufacturing and transportation logistics. ### Tutorials #### Introductory Tutorial with Manual Assembly Follow along with the tutorial video below: {% embed url="" %} #### Advance Tutorial with Automatic Assembly TBD #### Tutorial for Integration with Load Planning TBD --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
