seitenanfang | seitenanfang | So that you can upload the planning data of a specialist model created in Allplan to Bimplus, the Allplan project must be linked with the Bimplus project in which you maintain the building model of the construction project. This link will be created when you upload data from an Allplan project to Bimplus for the first time.
By using the BIMPLUS web portal, the BIM coordinator responsible for the construction project usually creates the required Bimplus project at an earlier stage. So the Bimplus project already exists. When you upload data for the first time, you simply decide whether you want to create a new specialist model in this project or update an existing model, that is to say, overwrite the last revision. As an alternative, you can also create the Bimplus project directly when you upload data from Allplan for the first time (if you have the required rights).
The next time you upload data from an Allplan project that is already linked with a Bimplus project, you can change neither the Bimplus project nor the model. In this case, you can only update the existing model or create a new revision.
| Info |
|---|
Note: Each new project you create in Allplan gets a unique ID. Even if you import a project backup to a new Allplan project with the same name as the original project, the ID of the backed up project is different from the ID of the new project. Therefore, in this context, "uploading for the first time" means uploading data from an Allplan project whose ID is not linked with a Bimplus project of the current Bimplus team. |
