Tools for managing manufacturers' catalogues
In the "Project" group of the main toolbar of the "Installation" tab, there is an option for managing the manufacturer's product catalogues in order to incorporate them into the project:
Catalogue management
This allows manufacturers' catalogues to be downloaded using the connection to the Open BIM Database, making it easier to enter data into the program for project development.
Clicking on this option opens a window with the available manufacturer catalogues.
Using the "Filters applied" option, filters can be applied by element "Category", "Language" and "Country" so that only manufacturers offering product catalogues with these characteristics are displayed.
Catalogue download
The following options are shown for each manufacturer:
- Download
Downloads the manufacturer's catalogue. The products in the catalogue will be available in the project. - Update
Updates the selected manufacturer's catalogue to the latest version, deleting the version downloaded in the project. - Delete
Deletes the selected manufacturer's catalogue. The products in the catalogue will no longer be available in the project.
Connection to Open BIM Database
At the bottom of this dialogue box, the program allows users to log in with their Open BIM Database account and password.
