Objekteigenschaften und -attribute abrufen

Using BIM Explorer, you can retrieve specific information about any object in the model. This information includes the object's values and parameters (alphanumeric data) and its position in the model. In addition, you can see how the object interacts with adjacent objects (geometry) and with the model as a whole.

You can find this information in the Details palette, which has the following areas:

• 3D preview
  Displays the selected object on its own. You can navigate the selected object in 3D preview as you would in full view.

• Object structure
  Shows how the elements making up the selected object are structured. Using Toggle visibility, you can show each element in the 3D preview or hide each element from the 3D preview. In addition, you can make each element transparent using Toggle opacity.

• Object properties
  Lists the object properties in accordance with the property set assigned to the project.
  You can find not only user-specific (Allplan) properties but also general information on the object, such as its name, geometry and unit.
  For example, the Element section shows the name of the model from which the object comes. This is particularly useful if the building model has several superimposed specialist models from various sources and you cannot see at a glance which model includes the object in question.

• Attachments
  Attachments are comments, files (for example, screenshots) and hyperlinks (for example, pointing to web sites of manufacturers) (see "Adding comments and further information to objects").
