Description

Generates or updates the result of a BIM section in a drawing.

Note: The GENERATEASSOCATTRS system variable controls the generation of associative data on 3D solids during modeling. When set ON, 3D solids contain associative data from the moment of creation. This allows BIMSECTIONUPDATE to produce drawings for which dimensions and tags can be automatically updated when the 3D model has been modified.
Note: When GENERATEASSOCVIEWS system variable is ON, the BIMSECTIONUPDATE command will generate/update the section indicators, grid callouts, and story callouts.

Tags are no longer automatically generated with BIMSectionUpdate command.

Story indicators, section indicators and grid callouts are generated in paper space now and essentially are BIM tags.

Method

There are two methods to use the BIMSECTIONUPDATE command:

  • Generate the result of a BIM section entity.
    Note: If the Interior option of the BIMSECTION command was used during the creation of the BIM section, BIM spaces can also be selected.
  • Update the result of a BIM section.
    Note: Select a BIM section entity in the Model Space or a viewport in the Paper Space layout.
