DYABOLA - CENSUS-Manual
2.2 (Polyhierarchic) Monuments with subdivisions

An architectural monument is usually formed by a number of components. These architectures are shown in the CENSUS in a hierarchic, subdivided structure.
A look at one of the most complex examples, the Pantheon in Rome, will clarify this. Choose the option 'monuments' in the quick search menu by using the cursor and the Return key. Enter the first few letters in the search string 'Panth', the cursor is automatically positioned at the Pantheon:



Pressing Return displays the abbreviated entry (title card) of the monument:
 
 

The main entry is shown. The asterisk on the bottom line indicates that there are further, dependent, records related to the Pantheon.
To access these entries, press 'i'.

 

The lower window displays, in abbreviated version, the components of the building. In front of the entries there are once again asterisks, indicating further dependent records.
Move the cursor to one of the entries and press Return, for example, to 'Porticus'.
 


The abbreviated line is automatically changed into a more extended title card. The dependent architectural components i.e. dependent on the 'porticus', are now on display in the lower half of the screen without having to press 'i' again.
Some of these dependent entries show an asterisk, referring again to further entries.
Pressing Return displays the list of the individual elements of the component:
 
 

To view photographs of the capital or base, move the cursor to the relevant entry and press Alt + 'f'.
To obtain more information about one of the entries, press the right arrow key several times in order to browse through the nine monument data sheets.
The data sheet 'Relationships' contains all renaissance documents:

 

Move the cursor to one of the entries and press 'f' to view images (if available), or press 's' to switch to the entry of the renaissance document (see the example 'Torso Belvedere').
