Method

BIMAUTOMATCH finds similarities based on the type of element, interior/exterior property, orientation, spatial location, amount of windows in a wall and already defined properties. It will not overwrite already defined properties, unless no unmodified entity can be found and the user specifies a source entity.

For example: You have attached a specific composition to a wall and a floorslab in the project. Instead of attaching the composition to all the similar walls and floor slabs 1 by 1, you can use this command to do it for you.

Note: This command works best when the project is bimified.

Options within the command

Displays Auto Match dialog box (see Auto Match dialog box article):

Note: When there are unmodified or unclassified entities in the drawing and there is only one building, nothing is prompted.

AutoMatch is only applied as if Building was the only building in the drawing.
0 for building-2
AutoMatch is only applied as if building-2 was the only building in the drawing.
1 for building-3
AutoMatch is only applied as if building-3 was the only building in the drawing.
Other building name (first letter capitalized)
All building names, available in the current drawing, are listed here.
Note: AutoMatch is only applied as if Other building name was the only building in the drawing.
External file
Matches all chosen options for entities in the chosen drawing with similar entities in the open drawing.
Note: When choosing External file with multiple buildings in both drawings, you have to select a building to detect style from and all or only one building to apply style on (see above options).
Note: When all entities have compositions or a same customized property or all windows or stairs have customized parameters you will be prompted to select an entity, a window or a stair in the drawing from which you want to copy the composition or parameters to let AUTOMATCH to overwrite them.

Every type of element has one entity with the correct composition.

All elements are given the correct composition.
