How do I create a new building component?

Last updated July 2, 2026

Short Answer

You create your own building components in the component catalog: open Catalog → Components, select the desired catalog or folder and add a new component via "Create product". Then assign a type and name, define the structure, materials and layers via "Edit details", complete the component and release it via the three-dot menu. Only after it has been released can the component be used in projects.

When to Use This

Use this procedure when you want to create your own building component (e.g. a wall, roof or floor) in the component catalog so you can use it in your projects afterwards.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open Catalog → Components and navigate to the desired catalog or folder (e.g. vyzn.tech).
  2. Click "Create product" and select "Component".
  3. Assign the type (wall, roof or floor) and a name, then save.
  4. Use "Edit details" to define the component's structure, materials and layers.
  5. Click "Complete".
  6. Release the component via the three-dot menu using "Release".

Expected Result

Once released, the component is available for use in your projects.

Common Mistakes

  • The component was not released: without releasing it via the three-dot menu, the component cannot be used in projects.
