CUBE as a Common Data environment allows you to save all kinds of files on the system. You can create a complete folder structure which can help you organize the project files and important documents in a better way.

Referring back to any document at any time would be very easy with an appropriately designed folder structure inside your project.

Let’s see how to create a folder in CUBE and add files to the same.

Creating Folder

CUBE allows you the functionality to create your own folder structure as per the organization’s needs and requirements.

Follow the steps mentioned below to create a folder in your Space.

Step 1 - Once inside your project, select the space where you want to create a new folder. Click on the ‘Files’ tab and then on ‘Models and Drawings’.

In the Files folder, there are two sub-folders by default viz.

1. Models and Drawings - Save all the 3D models and 2D drawings in this folder
2. Other Documents - Any other document that is not a drawing or model for eg. - contract documents, DBRs, etc can be saved here.

Step 2 - Once inside the ‘Models and Drawings’ folder, click on 'New Folder' to add a sub-folder.

Step 3 - Name the Folder in the pop-up displayed and click on ‘Create’. A new folder will be created and files can now be added to this folder.
