To use the CET to KITS Project Share, you will first need to open your CET project.
There are important considerations to make before sharing your CET project to KITS:
- Remove the zero point if inserted in the CET project. Simply select it and delete.
- Refresh calculation view to ensure complete specifications and proper pricing.
- Validate all specifications have been applied to the furniture and are completed.
- Validate all pricing in CET is correct. KITS may indicate a pricing discrepancy against the CET price after import. CET pricing will be preserved in the project share and should be considered to be the final project pricing.
- Remove all unnecessary items from the project like project texts, symbols and dimensions, additional models in the background of the project, and any CET help lines.
- Turn off Manufacturer Extension Validation symbols if available in the manufacturer extension.
- Unknown object boxes will appear in the KITS scene as a grey box.
- Deselect CET native ceiling in the architecture tab.
- Deselect CET native flooring in the architecture tab.
- Maximum file size allowed in project share is 500mb. If exceeded, a warning window will prompt in KITS.
Once considerations are complete, continue by clicking on the KiSP Extension for CET Designer and follow with clicking on Create Link to start the project share.
