BIMCHECKDETAILS command

Inspects the BIM Project details and their references.

BricsCAD BIM

Description

The command opens a command context panel that lets you see which BIM Project detail has references in a Project's 3D model/sheet (lists its references, if any). It also checks the links between all detail references/layouts and their DWG files.

Method

Use the command with a Project's 3D model or sheet file open.

The command context panel displays the details in tree views, with each node representing a detail. For each detail, the number of the detected references is displayed near the detail's name. Expand a node to see the references.

Through the command context panel you can:
  • Identify detail references by highlighting in the drawing the ones selected in the panel (for 3D models/sheets).
  • Update links between detail references in the model or detail layouts on sheets and detail DWG files (for 3D models/sheets).
  • Insert on the current sheet layouts of BIM details referenced in the model (for sheets).
  • Update detail layouts inserted on the current sheet (for sheets).

Right-click a detail to display a context menu with actions specific to the current file.
