When you upload planning data from an Allplan project to Bimplus for the first time, you first need to link the Allplan project with the Bimplus project. To do this, you can create a new Bimplus project or use one of the existing Bimplus projects. If you choose an existing Bimplus project, you can decide whether you want to create a new specialist model in this project or update (= overwrite) an existing model.

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.

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 any Bimplus project in the current Bimplus account (= Bimplus team).

Using Allplan to log in to Bimplus

To upload data straight from Allplan to Bimplus, you must use Allplan to log in to Bimplus.

Important!
You can log in to Bimplus using Allplan independently of logging in to Bimplus using the Bimplus web portal. In other words, logging in to Bimplus using Allplan does not automatically log you in to Bimplus using the Bimplus web portal and vice versa.

 To log in to Bimplus using Allplan

This is only possible if

→  You have a registered Bimplus account or you have been invited to Bimplus
→  Allplan is running

  1. Click Login  on the Allplan menu bar.
    The Bimplus dialog box opens.

  2. Type the email address and the password you selected or received when you registered at Bimplus.

  3. Click Login.
    This connects Allplan with Bimplus.

Uploading planning data for the first time

Only the owner of a Bimplus account can create new Bimplus projects in this account. So if a Bimplus project has not yet been created for an Allplan project, the account owner must personally upload the data from an Allplan project for the first time. In doing so, the account owner can create the Bimplus project.

To load planning data from Allplan to Bimplus for the first time

This is only possible if

→  Allplan is running
→  You have used Allplan to log in to Bimplus (see "Planungsdaten aus Allplan nach Bimplus hochladen")
→  The relevant Allplan project is open
→  You have the required rights (account owner or project administrator)

  1. Make sure all design elements you want to upload to Bimplus are visible.
    To check this, set the relevant drawing files to Current, Edit or Reference mode. In addition, make all layers visible by selecting at least the Visible, frozen layer status.

  2. Open the File menu, point to Export and click Export Bimplus Data.
    The Allplan Bimplus Upload dialog box opens.

  3. If you are a member of several Bimplus teams
    Go to the TEAM area and select the relevant Bimplus team.

  4. If the Bimplus project has not yet been created
    In the PROJECT area below the Projects table, click Create new Bimplus project and enter a name for the new Bimplus project (only the account owner is allowed to do this).

    Or:

    If the Bimplus project has already been created
    Go to the Projects table in the PROJECT area and select the Bimplus project to which you want to import the planning data (the account owner and project administrators are allowed to do this).

  5. In the PROJECT area below the Models table, click Create new Bimplus model and enter a name for the new Bimplus specialist model.

  6. Click Upload.
    This links the Allplan project with the selected Bimplus project and uploads the planning data from Allplan to Bimplus.

  7. A message appears as soon as the operation is complete. Click OK to confirm this message.

Updating the planning state in Bimplus

After the first upload of a specialist model, every time you upload the planning data from Allplan again you can decide whether you want to update (= overwrite) the existing planning state or create a new revision.

→  The relevant Allplan project is open and linked with a Bimplus project
→  You have the required rights (account owner or project administrator)

  1. Make sure all design elements you want to upload to Bimplus are visible.
    To check this, set the relevant drawing files to Current, Edit or Reference mode. In addition, make all layers visible by selecting at least the Visible, frozen layer status.

    The Allplan Bimplus Upload dialog box opens.

  3. If you are a member of several Bimplus teams
    Go to the TEAM area and select the relevant Bimplus team.

    Note: If you have the required rights, you can also create a new Bimplus project in another Bimplus team and add the model as a new model to this new Bimplus project.

  4. Go to the Upload setting area and decide whether you want to update the existing model or create a new revision.
