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.
- The categories that are available for this tool are:
- 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.
