Q. What is a Work Type?
A. The Work Type defines the construction type and the classification system to form a quantity table by construction type.
The Work Type is a tool that can be used to form a quantity table by construction type in the user environment.
The work type consists of a Structure function and a Field function.
Structure function: This function sets up a classification system so that all types of objects provided by CIM can have a hierarchical structure.
Field function: This function sets up the specifications according to the object’s material type.
Therefore, CIM can make an aggregate table of quantity calculations for each material/material based on the model created.
Step 1. Work Type Configuration.
Figure. 1 Work Type Configuration
This is the setting method for calculating the quantity of the bridge substructure model in Figure. 1.
Base mode > Property > Work Type
① Base mode > Property > Work Type
Work Type is a tool that configures the quantity calculation form and sets the quantity calculation range system.
Click Work Type to go to the setup process for Structure and Field.
② Base mode > Property > Work Type > Structure
This tool creates a structural system for the quantity calculation form.
[This is the same as the sheet structure that is created in Excel.]
③ Base mode > Property > Work Type > Field
This feature sets the Work Type and standard based on the object type that shows in the quantity calculation sheet.
Step 2. Describes the process used to enter the Structure of the Work Type.
Figure. 2 Structure Classification System
Step 3. Describes the process used to enter the Field of the Work Type.
The setting under Work Type > Field sets the quantity related construction type and standards using the model’s property information.

Figure. 4 Field Construction Structure (Rebar)
Step 4. Describes the Material Settings.
Material information of each model object can be entered and modified.
For example, as shown in the figure above, the name of the concrete is changed and will be changed accordingly in the quantity calculation form.

Step 5. Describes the process used to enter the quantity calculation property information into the CIM model using the animation below.
The animation shows the process of using the Assign Tool to quickly enter the property information into the model (member).
