Exporting a partial project

You can cut out a part of a project and save it in a separate project, e.g. to pass it on and read in the result later (Integrating a project). You can optionally lock the exported project.

1.  Make sure that the desired project is open (Editing basic settings of the project).

2.  Click the Export partial project... button.

The Export partial project: basic settings window opens.

3.  Specify the desired settings under Basic settings of the exported project.

5.  Click the Next button.

The Export partial project: selection of scenarios window opens.

6.  Select the desired scenarios for the export.

Note: The scenarios active in the project are preselected. You can select further scenarios, if required.

7.  Click the Next button.

The Export partial project: selection of additional modifications window opens.

8.  Select further modifications for the export, where applicable.

Notes: The modifications of the selected scenarios are preselected. You can select further modifications for the export, if required.

This step is omitted if all modifications are already contained in the selected scenarios.

9.  Click the Next button.

The Export partial project: selection of additional procedure parameter sets window opens.

10.  Select further procedure parameter sets for the export, where applicable.

The partial project is exported.

Note: If you have exported the base version to the partial project together with modifications, this is called a “raised” base version. In the partial project, the modifications are connected inseparably with the base version.
