Clicking on this option opens a menu where the desired element can be selected. When doing this, a window opens with the available manufacturer's catalogues for that element.

Download 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, 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.

Importing catalogue data

The manufacturers' catalogues downloaded in the project are available when creating materials and equipment for the elements in the system from the different options in the “Material and equipment selection” section of the “General options”, using the “Available manufacturers” button located at the top right of each table.

From here, catalogues can also be downloaded, using the "Catalogues" button next to the one above.
