Description |
| Inflate first |
Expands the sensitive zone (left) to include similar solids which are not connected yet (right) in the model (right). The edges of the initially detected detail are moved outward over a specified distance. Prompts you: Enter inflation distance: (Type a value).

| Save Detail |
A File dialog displays. You are prompted to specify a file name to save the detail. |
| Save Detail to Library |
The Save Detail dialog displays. See the BIMCREATEDETAIL command. |

Related Commands
BimPropagate - 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.
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.
BimPropagateLinear - Propagates connections between linear elements (beams, columns, pipes, ducts and their connections to walls and slabs).
BimPropagatePattern - Propagates a single element on a flat surface to multiple locations and grids; can be used to propagate lights, light switches, windows, air diffusers, etc.
