TIPS & TRICKS. “MY Ribbon” – How to use the Quick Access Toolbar options to always have your most frequently used tools at hand?
If we work with files in a certain way and repeat certain activities for which we need buttons from different tabs of the BIMvision main panel, we can improve our work. Instead of switching between tabs each time or looking for certain functions in them, that we use quite often, we can create a special quick access bar that will display a set of options, tools and functions defined by us. To add selected tools to our “Quick Access Toolbar”, just right-click on them in the main BIMvision toolbar and select “Add to Quick Access Toolbar”. After adding features, we…

TIPS & TRICKS. How to quickly select the whole group to which the indicated entity belongs?
BIMvision allows you to quickly select the entire structure, group or assembly to which a single entity belongs. There are a few ways to quickly select the bigger part of the project starting from pointing an element. LET’S CHECK THEM OUT! THE FIRST OPTION The first method is to click on the one 3D entity of the assembly in the model and then right-click the mouse and select “Select group”. See the screenshots below: Select a bolt After right-clicking, choose „Select group” from the menu The whole group is already selected. Now you can isolate it, hide it or use…

TIPS & TRICKS. How to measure custom value when we do not have the vertices?
BIMvision allows you to measure custom distances, angles, areas or check the coordinates of various vertices. The problem, however, is when we DON’T HAVE these vertices, i.e. points with a measurable distance, in the model! So how can we take the measurement? How can we make such a point? The point is the point! Once we have it, our custom measurement will be almost ready. LET’S START! We will consider the issue of measuring an angle. We can measure a custom angle by selecting 3 points in the model. The simplest example would be to indicate the 3 vertices of…

Plugin Cooperation STEP-BY-STEP Practice [No.5]
TARGET:– quick selection according to the value of the chosen property– dividing elements into smaller parts to make measurements more accurate– measurements in the model and saving them in the form of views COURSE (plugins used): OBJECTS INFO, GALLERY, + MEASUREMENT and CUTTING options of BIMvision 1. Using the Objects Info plugin, we can very quickly view all the values for the selected property in the model. The “Group” tool is used for this. 2. For an example, let’s review all the values for the Storey property. All the floor names contained in the IFC file will appear here. 3.…

TARGET: – checking and comparing changes between revisions – creating a comprehensive project model with industries, e.g. as a reference model for Data drop COURSE (plugins used): MODULE: MULTIFILE – MODULE: COMPARE – IFC MERGE – IFC SPLIT Using the Multifile Module, we can open many different files simultaneously in one common BIMvision window. So if we work on a model and want to see not only its architecture (construction), but also its industry installations, then we will need the Multifile module. Let’s open the first file and then add another one by clicking on File> “Add files” When the…

TARGET: -merging the facility model with the model of the surrounding -adjusting the position of the models in relation to each other -creating a light preview file of the concept of the arrangement of objects COURSE (plugins used): MODULE: MULTIFILE – IFC MERGE – IFC SPLIT 1. Load the first file – for me it will be the surrounding file. 2. Using Multifile module you can add additional files. To do this, go to FILE> Add files You can add several models at the same time – by holding down the Ctrl button while selecting them in the dialog box.…

Plugin Cooperation STEP-BY-STEP Practice [No.2]
TARGET: – quick selection of elements according to the expected criteria – assigning documents related to individual elements – creating and saving color versions of the project COURSE (plugins used): OBJECTS INFO – EXTERNAL DOCUMENTS – GALLERY 1. Open the model to which you will assign technical documents, material cards and reference links. 2. Select one type of element. These will be the four-sash windows visible here. In order to find them quickly in the project and select them, they must be filtered by the properties they have in common, but also different from other windows. 3. To do this,…

TARGET: – creating separate batches for convenient management – extracting groups of created batches with selected parameters COURSE (plugins used): MTS – IFC SPLIT – MODULE:MULTIFILE – ADVANCED REPORTS 1. Open the model on the basis of which you will create and separate batches 2. We will use the MTS plugin (learn more, buy or download the plugin in demo version) 3. Click on the “Batching” icon in the button group of the MTS plugin 4. A dialog box will open. This is where you can define batches 5. Right-click on an empty field in the “Batching information” window, then…
