M\_MF\_Invisible Element - Family needed by the software to fill empty settings in configurations.

M\_MF\_Service Holes - could be used to insert a cut perpendicular to slab direction.

**Sample schedule**s and **Sample tags** can be loaded to be used in project or you can use your own Tags and Schedules.

**Company Catalog Name** - use Browse to specify additional folder from which other families should be loaded with this command.

Loaded Families have special parameters to cut sides and ends based on the shape of reference floor.
