BIMTAG command
Creates associative tags.
Icon:
Description
Creates associative tags in generated BIM section drawings for the corresponding building entities in a 3D BIM model.
Note: This command can only be used on section
viewports.
Note: The GENERATEASSOCVIEWS system variable must be ON when
generating or updating BIM tags.
Method
The tags are created automatically for all building elements in the selected viewport.
Note: Tags are created as multileader entities using
multileader styles in _SectionTag.dwg. The content of such a multileader style
can be a field referring to a property of BIM entity type or 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.xml. All source files
can be found in the Support folder, for example:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Bricsys\BricsCAD\V22x64\en_US\Support\Bim\Sections.
Note: Section indicators, story indicators and grid
callouts are generated automatically within section update.
