Creates a detail and saves it in the library.
Accessing the Command
Commandline: BIMCREATEDETAIL
: BimCreateDetail
A dialog appears:
Give the detail a name, create or choose a category and complete all the selections. As soon as something is selected, feedback about the detail creation is given at the bottom of the dialog, like for example the necessary selections that still have to be made in order to make the detail creation possible.
Also, the dialog reports all the selections that have been made in the following way:
Press Create.
You are prompted: Accept this detail? [Accept detail/Reject detail] <Accept detail>: (Accept the detail when it's the desired one or reject it when it is not.)
A dialog opens: (Change the preview if wanted, add tags and press Save.)
The detail has now been saved in the library.

BimPropagateCorner - Propagates details connected to three planar base solids (i.e., corners).
BimPropagateEdges - Propagates a detail along the edge of a planar solid; can be used to propagate railings, gutters, borders, wall caps, etc.
