Open BIM project information panel

When linking to a project, this panel shows each of the links, and the status of the links using the following icons:

  • Link status

    Shows whether the link is loaded or unloaded.
  • Original IFC status

    Shows the status of the IFC located in the ‘bim_projects’ folder.
  • Local IFC status

    Shows the status of the IFC located in the local directory folder where the project is saved.
  • Content status

    Shows the status of the extracted contents (DirectShapes) of each of the links.

On the left-hand side of the panel, a toolbar is located to improve the accessibility and organisation of the options.

It is structured in two main sections: "Configuration" and "Tools".

Configuration

The configuration section brings together options for customisation, conversion control and IFC data management.

  • IFC options
    Specific configurations can be defined for importing and exporting models in IFC format. This tool is explained in more detail in the IFC options section.

Tools

The tools section provides additional tools for visualisation, filtering and management of structural models, making it easier to navigate and analyse BIM content.

  • Applying transparencies to structural elements
    Quickly modifies the visibility of certain structural categories in the Revit model and applies them to the desired views, without the need to modify the visibility and graphics editor in the Revit interface.

    • The categories that are available for this tool are:
      • floors;
      • walls;
      • structural columns;
      • structural framing;
      • ramps;
      • structural foundations;
      • and stairs.
  • Assign colour filters to reinforcement
    This tool can be used to assign colours to the reinforcements according to their diameter. They can then be applied to the available views selected without the need to create a filter for each of them. The colours are customisable, and the colours used in the original design program are also available.
  • Information about the levels
    It provides specific details on project levels, making analysis and organisation easier.
  • Search instance
    Makes it easier to locate instances within the Revit project.
