BIMPROPAGATEEDGES command
Propagates a detail along the edge of a planar solid.
Icon:
Description
It propagates railings, gutters, borders, wall caps, etc.
Note: The detail of BIMPROPAGATEEDGES will always be a 2D slice through a linear detail.
Method
Select planar reference solid to which the edge detail is related and the detail entities to be copied.
It can be used to copy details along edges of planar solids.
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.

Options within the command
- Inflate first
- Expands the sensitive zone to include similar solids which are not connected yet in the model. The edges of the initially detected detail are moved outward over a specified distance.
- Save detail
- Displays the Save Drawing As dialog box, which allows you to save the detail.
- Yes
- Only edges with similar orientation are selected.
- No
- All minor faces of similar planar solids are selected.
- Outside reference solid
- The propagated detail is placed outside the base solid. The volume of the base solids is not modified.
- Inside reference solid
- The propagated detail is placed inside the base solids. The volume of the detail is subtracted from the base solids.
