Review embodied carbon detail

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

Embodied Carbon Detail tabular data views:

  • are displayed for one construction type at a time according to the material, characteristic, construction and fabrication type selected in the ribbon
  • display a single row listing the total embodied carbon mass per member reference when Summary Only is selected
  • display separate rows listing the quantities, units, carbon factors, and embodied carbon masses for each material that comprises the member reference when Summary Only is unselected
  • can have filters applied
  • 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 could be printed if exported to a spreadsheet).

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

Note: The embodied carbon mass totals are also included in the Review material list tabular results.
Note: Embodied carbon can also be reviewed in summary by creating an Embodied Carbon Overview tabular data view.

Create embodied carbon detail tabular results

To display an embodied carbon detail as tabular data:
  1. Open a view and change the view regime to Review View.
  2. 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.

  3. On the Review Data ribbon, in the list in the View Type group, select Embodied Carbon Detail
  4. Choose the construction type by selecting the required material, characteristic, construction and fabrication type from the ribbon.
  5. Choose if you want summary or detailed results:
    • To display summary only, in the View Type group, select Summary Only.
    • To display more detailed results, unselect Summary Only.

    The results are displayed as specified.

    If required you can configure a filter to limit the display to selected levels, frames etc. To do this, see: Sort and filter tabular review data

Locate tabular data in a 3D view

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.
