Create and Modify a Subset Definition

Creating a subset defines a subdivision of the model, which can be separately checked out. Creating a subset involves naming the subset and selecting the scoping objects to include in the subset. You select the protection and expansion for each scoping object included in the subset when you create it.

Before creating a subset, determine which scoping objects you want included in the subset and the preferred protection and expansion for each scoping object. Select the objects based on the tasks you need to perform.

Note: For more information, see chapter “Maintaining Definitions for Subset Administrator and Users.” Also see the chapter “Quick Start for Users” in the Client Server Encyclopedia User Guide.

After you create a subset, you may want to grant users access to the subset or check it out.
