Description
Maps details (solids, holes, finishing geometry, etc.) related to selected base solids to similar base solids in the model and optionally outlines the detail in a grid.
Method
Select reference solids and, optionally, detail entities (solids, block references, faces, edges, etc.).
It can be used to copy details throughout your model.
Note: The detail area to be copied is displayed in blue. The reference contact area is displayed in purple.
You can accept or reject suggestions by clicking on the tick:
- A green check mark means that the suggestion will be applied.
- A question mark means that the suggestion will not be applied due to one of several possible reasons.
- A red X mark means that the suggestion will not be applied.
Note: Hovering over the widget will reveal more options.
Note: If the PROPAGATESEARCHSPACE system variable is ON, you can select a search space which allows you to limit the places that will be propagated.
Note: When an advanced project detail is propagated, the detail volume is used to add detail references at the places where BIMPROPAGATE modified/added detail geometry.
