When starting the application and clicking on "New", it offers users the chance to create a "New job", which can then be integrated into an existing project in BIMserver.center.

This is selected in the "Project selection" window. On the left-hand side, the user can log in with their BIMserver.center account.

Users can also "Create a new project". In this case, the created project will be visible from BIMserver.center from that moment on.

There is also the option of starting the project without being linked to the BIMserver.center platform. To do this, simply uncheck the box at the top left, "Link to a BIMserver.center project".

Once the new job has been created, the program interface is accessed, which includes a graphic window showing the model or models that have been imported.

At any time during the project, files can be shared or imported via the "BIMserver.center" group at the top right-hand side of the screen.

Importing BIM models

When creating a new job and selecting a project hosted on the BIMserver.center platform from "Select project", the "Import BIM models" window appears, which shows the files contained in that project in IFC format.

The application allows users to include one or more of the existing models in the project. To do this, the "Import" box is checked and accepted.

When accessing the interface, the graphic window will display the imported models. In addition, if they contain this information, it will create the views, levels and floor plans necessary for developing the system model.

Further on, the program opens the "Configuration" window, which allows the following:

• In the central part, users can select the configuration and the applicable codes from those available for different countries and regions. The selection is made for both the water supply system, developed in the "Water Systems" tab, and the water evacuation system, developed in the "Sanitary Systems" tab.
• The configuration provided by different manufacturers can also be imported via the "Available configurations" menu at the top left.
• Finally, the "Water Systems" and "Sanitary Systems" menus at the top allow the download and management of catalogues of different elements of the water supply and drainage systems.

If this window is closed or cancelled, the program will create the job without importing any settings.

If users wish to subsequently load the configuration or customise it, or manage the job catalogues, they can use the "General options" and "Catalogues" tools in the top toolbar of the "Installation" tab, available in the "Water Systems" and "Sanitary Systems" tabs, respectively.

Generating consumptions and discharges from sanitary equipment

If the BIM model contains information on the sanitary appliances, when creating a new job, the program offers to associate them with the consumption and discharge types defined in the configuration of the building. This automatically generates the consumption and discharge points and arranges them in the model space.
