Checking, adding or changing project properties
The most important details of a Bimplus project are available to all project members. You can find these details in the Properties palette:
- Name
- Address
- Description
- Created on
- Status
- Project statistics (hard-drive space required; number of members, models and documents)
If you have the required rights, you can also change these entries.
Note: Use the project properties to define the property set template that is mandatory for all those involved in the construction project. For details see “Planning projects with standardized component properties”.

Managing project members
The project administrator creates the list of project members, adding all planning partners involved to this list. By assigning different roles, the project administrator controls the access rights of the members. If a planning partner is no longer involved in a project, the project administrator removes this planning partner from the project.
For details, see "Appointing project members".
Managing the building model
Managing the building model of a Bimplus project plays a central role in cooperative planning based on Bimplus. Therefore, this topic will be covered in a separate chapter, where you will learn how to upload planning data to Bimplus and handle planning states (see “Uploading specialist models to Bimplus and managing these models”).
Managing documents and other files
In addition to the model data of the building model, you can upload other documents and files in any format to Bimplus so that the other project members can view or download these documents and files. You can do this for every project.
For details, see “Uploading and managing other documents”.
