Linking an Allplan project with a Bimplus project

If you want to upload planning data of a specialist model from an Allplan project to Bimplus for the first time, you must link the Allplan project with the corresponding Bimplus project first.

Use the Bimplus project that was created by the BIM coordinator responsible for the construction project. As an alternative, you can also create a new Bimplus project while uploading data. However, only the owner or an administrator of a Bimplus team is authorized to create new Bimplus projects in the team. Therefore, the team owner or a team administrator must upload the data for the first time.

To link an Allplan project with a Bimplus project

1. Make sure all design elements that you want to upload to Bimplus are visible in the project.

   To do this, check the status of the drawing files, which should be current, open in edit mode, or open in reference mode. Then check the status of the layers, which should be at least visible, frozen.
   
   

2. Click Upload Model to Bimplus (Teamwork task → Bimplus task area).

   Or:

   Click Upload in the Issue Manager palette.

   You can see the Upload Model to Bimplus dialog box.
   
   

3. Only if you are a member of several Bimplus teams:
   Go to the Team area and select the Bimplus team team who is to work on the project.
   
   

4. If the Bimplus project already exists:
   Go to the Project area - Projects table and select the Bimplus project to which you want to upload the planning data (possible for Bimplus project administrators and Bimplus project editors).

   Or:

   If the Bimplus project does not yet exist:
   Go to the Project area, click Create new Bimplus project under the Projects table, and enter a name for the new Bimplus project (this can be done only by the owner of the Bimplus team or an administrator of the Bimplus team).
   
   

5. Go to the Project area, click Create new Bimplus model under the Models table, 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 to Bimplus.
   
   

7. Click OK to confirm the message that appears when the upload is completed.

Updating the planning data of an Allplan project on Bimplus

As soon as an Allplan project is linked with a Bimplus project, you can decide whether you want to update or overwrite the data of the specialist model or create a new revision of the model. You can decide this each time you upload planning data from this Allplan project to Bimplus.

To update the planning data or create a new revision

1. Make sure all design elements that you want to upload to Bimplus are visible in the project.

   To do this, check the status of the drawing files, which should be current, open in edit mode, or open in reference mode. Then check the status of the layers, which should be at least visible, frozen.
   
   

2. Click Upload Model to Bimplus (Teamwork task → Bimplus task area).

   You can see the Upload Model to Bimplus dialog box.
   
   

3. Go to the Setting area and decide whether you want to update the existing model, overwrite it, or create a new revision:

   Update the current model
   Updates the current model with the selected design elements (see step 1) that have changed since the last upload.

   Upload current model again
   Replaces the current model with the selected design elements (see step 1).

   Create a new revision
   Creates a new revision of the model, keeping the original version. You can still view and edit the original version on the BIMPLUS web portal.
   
   

4. Click Upload.

   This uploads the planning data from Allplan to Bimplus.
