Exports or updates the result of a BIM section in a drawing.

NOTE |
The GENERATEASSOCATTRS (Generate associative attributes) system variables controls the generation of associative data on 3D solids during modeling. When set to On, 3D solids contain associative data from the moment of creation. This allows BIMSECTIONUPDATE to produce drawings for which dimensions and tags can be automatically updated when the 3D model has been modified. |
Accessing the Command
Commandline: BIMSECTIONUPDATE
Quad: Select Section Object | Model | Generate Section
Ribbon: Annotate | Generate Sections | Update Section
Toolbar: BIM Toolbar | BIM Section Update
: BimSectionUpdate
To create or update BIM sections when in a BIM 3D model
Open the BIM 3D model.
Launch the BimSectionUpdate command.
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select BIM section entity to generate or BIM section result to update: (Select a BIM section entity or a BIM room*.)
Entities in set:1
Select BIM section entity to generate or BIM section result to update: (Select more BIM section entities or BIM rooms, or press Enter.)
Bricsys reports:
xx section(s) were generated
C:\BricsCAD\Villa\Section Plane (1)
...
C:\BricsCAD\Villa\Section Plane (xx)
*BIM rooms can be selected if the interior elevations have been created by the Interior option of the BimSection command.
To update a BIM section drawing
Open the BIM section drawing.
Launch the BimSectionUpdate command.
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select BIM section entity to generate or BIM section result to update: (Either select a section in Model Space or a viewport in a Paper Space layout.)
Entities in set:1
Select BIM section entity to generate or BIM section result to update: (Either select a section in Model Space or a viewport in a Paper Space layout; or Press Enter.)
