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.
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.
BimPropagatePlanar - Propagates connections between planar elements (walls/slabs/roofs).
