MasterKey Overview


Connecting your specifications with your CAD files to intuitively create and update Keynotes.


masterkey

Generate specifications that are dynamically linked to your drawings.

Masterspec’s MasterKey keynote system combines the accuracy of Keynotes with the power and ingenuity of the Masterspec platform.

MasterKey dynamically connects your Revit® or ArchiCAD® project with a Masterspec specification document, drawing correctly numbered keynotes directly from Masterspec to use in your project.

Any product changes made to your specification selections can be updated into your design project. The update can apply wherever that keynote occurs throughout the drawing set.

MasterKey also allows you to source keynotes, specifications, NZ Codes and Standards and product information from the miproducts national product database – all without leaving your project workspace.

Features

Control the Keynote Content

Your Keynotes are drawn directly from your Masterspec specification or you can create your own keynotes. You can also source and import keynote libraries from your practice to be used in conjunction with NextGen2 keynotes within MasterKey.

Less manual data entry

Keynotes are pre-written and automatically generated by MasterKey based on the Selections (Part 4) of your NextGen2 worksections.Updates are published monthly.

Choose your product brands

MasterKey allows you to generate branded keynotes from Masterspec’s branded product partner sections.

Drag and Drop

Once you've imported your specification keynotes into a project you simply drag the appropriate Keynote from the list and assign it to one or more selected objects.

Easily change product

Because MasterKey is a live and dynamic link, when you change the selection in the NextGen2 specification and save your changes, the next time you open your project and refresh the MasterKey file, the system will prompt you to accept the changed keynotes throughout the project.
