Maps details (solids, holes, finishing geometry, ...) related to selected base solids to similar base solids in the model and optionally outlines the detail in a grid.
Five variants of BimPropagate work on a limited set of situations:
- BimPropagatePlanar: Propagation of connections between planar elements (walls/slabs/roofs).
- BimPropagateLinear: Propagation of connections between linear elements (beams, columns, pipes, ducts and their connections to walls and slabs).
- BimPropagatePattern: Propagation of a single element on a flat surface to multiple locations and grids; can be used to propagate lights, light switches, windows, air diffusers, etc.
- BimPropagateEdge: Propagation along the edge of a planar solid; can be used to propagate railings, gutters, borders, wall caps, etc.
- BimPropagateCorner: Propagates details connected to three planar base solids (i.e., corners).
