References

Symbol instances are referenced by <furniture>, <door> and <window> elements. A single <symbolInstance>-element can be referred to by multiple elements when all these elements represent the same object in the project.

For instance, a door can be represented by up to three <door>-elements:

  • one in the first room,

  • one in the adjacent room,

  • and one in the exploded section describing the location of the door on the whole floor.

In this case, all three <door> elements will refer to the same <symbolInstance>-element, indicating that they are in fact one and the same.
