Tools for managing manufacturer catalogues
In the "Project" group of the main toolbar there is an option to manage the manufacturer product catalogues in order to incorporate them into the project:
Catalogues
Downloads manufacturer catalogues using the connection to the Open BIM Database, which makes it easier to enter data into the program for project development.
Clicking on this option opens a window with the available manufacturer catalogues.
The "Filters applied" option allows users to apply filters so that only the desired manufacturers are displayed.
Downloading catalogues
The following options are shown for each manufacturer:
- Download
Download 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 and deletes the downloaded version in the project. - Delete
Deletes the selected manufacturer's catalogue. The products in the catalogue are no longer available in the project.
Connection to Open BIM Database
At the bottom of this dialogue box, users can log in with their Open BIM Database account and password.
This also makes it possible to request new catalogues in case the program does not offer the desired catalogue. The request can be made using the form that opens when you click on the corresponding option ("Are you missing a catalogue?").
