Location of the type files

Type files are stored in six different directories which are sub-directories of the directory referred to by the %NCGNORMS% environment variable. The names of these directories are fixed and must not be changed.

Each of the directories contain type files for a different Hull application, functionality and/or presentation type. This way it is possible to create or choose different 2D and 3D presentations, for example.

The directories are as follows:

%NCGNORMS%\profs

This directory contains the profile end types of the profiles and user profile definitions for the 3D-Contek application and production information functions.

%NCGNORMS%\profs3d

This directory contains the profile end types and user profile definitions for the 3D-Show application.

%NCGNORMS%\profs2d

This directory contains the profile end types for the 2D-Contek application.

%NCGNORMS%\uitsp

This directory contains the types associated with cutouts, holes, doors, and corner holes.

The 3D-Contek application and the production information functions get their information from this directory.

%NCGNORMS%\uitsp3d

This directory contains the types associated with cutouts, holes, doors, and corner holes.

The 3D-Show application gets its information from this directory.

%NCGNORMS%\uitsp2d

This directory contains the types associated with cutouts, holes, doors, and corner holes.

The 2D-Contek application gets its information from this directory.
