Options within the command

Mode
Defines the new placement face.
Note: Each inserted component-based feature or BIM Window component has an associated placement face of the correspondent 3D solid the feature is attached to. This is the face which will be used for feature placement in the BMINSERT command. The associated placement face of the feature can be lost in modeling or copying operations or it can be absent if the feature has been inserted in an empty area. The BMUPDATE command allows to re-associate the feature with its placement face.
Automatic
The placement face for the feature is detected automatically.
Manual
Select a new placement face manually.
Entire model
Updates the entire model.
