Example: Numbering a Door in a Project
The following example shows how you can define property data that combines object properties with project properties.
The example uses door numbers and room information to show how you could use project, location, formula, and
manual property definitions. Typically a door is numbered based on the room in which it opens, with an alphabetic
suffix for rooms with multiple doors. The following diagram shows how a door number can be built up from other
information in the drawing and the project.
