The command can be used on section viewports only.
The GENERATEASSOCVIEWS system variable must be ON when generating or updating BIM tags.

: bimtag
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select BIM section viewport [Manual]: (Click the border of a Bim Section viewport.)
Tags are created automatically for all sectioned building entities in the selected viewport.
The tags are created as multileader entities using multileader styles in _Section Tag.dwg. The content of such multileader style is a block with attributes. Each attribute refers to a property of a BIM entity type.
BIM entity types are linked to a multileader style in _TagTypeToStyle.csv.
All source files sit in the Bim/Sections folder of the support folder, e.g.: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Bricsys\BricsCAD\V18x64\en_US\Support\Bim\Sections.
If tags already exist in the selected viewport, prompts you:
Tags already have been assigned to the section. Choose an update option [Update existing/update existing and add New/Regenerate all] <Regenerate all>: (Press Enter to (re)generate all tags or choose an option.)
