Review embodied carbon overview

Embodied carbon can be reviewed in summary form by creating an Embodied Carbon Overview tabular data view.

Embodied Carbon Overview tabular data views:

are either displayed for the whole model, or according to the materials, characteristics, construction and fabrication types selected in the ribbon
can be displayed grouped by:
- Construction type
- Level & Construction type
- Construction type & Material
- Material
- Level
- Plane
can have filters applied ( selected UDAs, frames, or groups)
are linked to the 3D view: double-clicking a row in the table locates the row entities in the 3D view
can be exported to a spreadsheet
are not suitable for direct printing, but the data can be included in an Embodied Carbon report which can then be printed.

For more details about the practical use of this feature, see: Examine embodied carbon overview in the Embodied carbon workflow topic.

Note: Embodied carbon can also be reviewed in more depth by creating an Embodied Carbon Detail tabular data view.

Create embodied carbon overview tabular results

To display an embodied carbon overview as tabular data:

Open a view and change the view regime to Review View.
On the Review ribbon, click Tabular Data

A Review Data tab is added to the ribbon and a Review Data View opens in a new window.
On the Review Data ribbon, in the list in the View Type group, select Embodied Carbon Overview
Choose if you want results displayed for all available material and member types, or a subset only:
- To display results for all available material and member types, in the View Type group, click Toggle Selection so that all construction types are selected.
- To display results for a subset of construction types proceed as follows:
  1. In the Material Type group, select the material(s).
  2. In the Characteristic group, select the required characteristic(s).
  3. In the Fabrication group, select the fabrication type(s).
Using the droplist in the View Type group, choose how you want the results to be reported:
- Group by Construction Type
- Group by Level & Construction Type
- Group by Construction Type & Material
- Group by Material
- By Level - Summary
- Group by Plane
The Embodied Carbon Overview is displayed grouped as specified.

Double-clicking on a specific row in the tabular data view locates where the row content is in the model by highlighting it in a 3D view.

Tip: Make use of the “ghost unselected” feature to make highlighted entities clearer.
