BIM project info dialog box
The BIM Project Info Shows information about properties, materials, compositions and profiles of the Project and Central databases. It allows you to import or export the database and set the project database as embedded or external. When you launch the BIMPROJECTINFO command in BricsCAD®, the BIM project info displays in a dialog box that includes certain components and tabs. Project and central databases of BIM models can be changed using this dialog box.

- Embedded
- Saves the project database in the drawing file.
- External
-
Saves the project database in a BIM database file (.bsyslib).
Note: The external database keeps the database independent from the current drawing. This is especially useful if you want to share the database between multiple models, e.g. when a model consists of several Xref drawings.When switching from External to Embedded, the content of the external database is copied to the embedded project database.
