The →[[en:infra-convert:user:terms#Class (characteristic-)|characteristic classes]] that are available in #@IC_HTML@# are defined in the parameter file "CharacteristicClasses.json". More specifically: these definitions are loaded when a new →[[en:infra-convert:user:terms#Project|project]] is created and saved in the project file. This means that it is not possible to later change the class definitions for a project.

> **Important** Each class definition has parameters that cannot be changed. If a parameter is missing or faulty, then characteristics assigned to the corresponding class will no longer be recognized by the automatic stamp function. The same is, of course, true for missing definitions.

If you need additional classes, you can append definitions. You are welcome to tell us your wishes, as we are interested in offering the widest possible selection of classes.

During installation, the parameter file CharacteristicClasses is saved at the following location:

<code>%ProgramData%\ELIAS GmbH\infra-convert\JsonData\CharacteristicClasses.json</code>
</WRAP>
</WRAP> </WRAP>

If another parameter file is to be loaded when starting the program, this can be specified in the startup parameter file (see Configuration and Import > Startup parameter file > [[en:infra-convert:dev:parameter#Parameter file for characteristic classes]]).
