Using BIM Viewer, you can retrieve specific information on any of the objects in the overall model. This information includes the object's values and parameters (alphanumeric data), its position in the model and information on how the object interacts with adjacent objects (geometry).
You can find this information in the Details palette, which usually consists of the following areas:
- Preview
You can move the element displayed in the preview in the same way as in the full view. - Object properties
This area lists not only user-specific (Allplan) attributes but also global information on the object such as its name, geometry and unit.
For example, the element section also shows the model from which the object comes. This is particularly useful if the building model consists of a number of superimposed specialist models from various sources and you cannot find the IFC file containing the object in question. - Attachments
Attachments are comments, files (for example, screenshots) and hyperlinks (for example, pointing to web sites of manufacturers) (see "Attaching comments and further information to objects").
To retrieve information on an object
Open the Details palette.
To do this, click
Show details on the right sidebar.Go to the building model and click the object of which you want to see the details.
The Details palette shows all available information about the object clicked.
