To download specialist models to Allplan
When you do your specialist design in Allplan, you can download specialist models straight from Allplan.
Allplan places the data downloaded on the BIMPL_REF layer. When you upload your specialist model to the Bimplus project, all objects on this layer will be ignored This protects the original model data of the other planning partners from being changed or overwritten.
You can download a reference model only if you have used your Allplan workstation to sign in to Bimplus and you have appropriate rights for the Bimplus project.
Note: You can find further information in the Allplan Help; see “Downloading a reference model from Bimplus“.
