Objekteigenschaften und -attribute abrufen

You can use BIM Explorer to retrieve specific information about any object in the overall model. This information includes the properties, characteristics and parameters of the whole object and the positions of the elements making up the object. In addition, you can see how these elements interact.

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 move the selected object in the 3D preview as you would move the overall model in full view.

• OBJECT STRUCTURE
  Shows how the elements making up the selected object are structured. By using Toggle visibility, you can show and hide each element in the 3D preview. By using Toggle opacity, you can make each element transparent in the 3D preview.

• 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 about 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 several models from various sources are superimposed and you cannot see which model includes the object in question.

• Further information
  Includes comments, attachments (for example, screenshots) and hyperlinks (for example, to websites of manufacturers) (see ”Adding further information to objects”).
