The Project details palette gives you an overview of the data structure of the currently open project and all its specialist models. You can use the Models and Building structure areas in this palette to control which objects are visible in the full view. As the settings in these two areas overlap, you can only find objects that are visible in both areas.
In addition, you can use the Models area to make models or their subordinate object groups transparent.

Using the Models area of the Project details palette, you can set the specialist models and the object types in these models to visible, invisible or transparent. You can define this setting for a specialist model in its entirety or for each individual object type in this model.
→ You have loaded the Bimplus project into BIM Viewer (see "Bauwerksmodell in den BIM Viewer laden") |
The Building structure area shows the hierarchical structure of each specialist model in accordance with the Allplan building structure or the specifications for the IFC format using the following levels: site (IFCSite), building (IFCBuilding) and story (IFCBuildingStory).
As the Allplan drawing file structure is defined neither in IFC nor in BIM, you cannot find this structure in Bimplus either. The same applies to the Allplan layer structure, which is completely different in BIM and IFC.

Click Toggle visibility to set the objects of this structural level from visible to invisible or from invisible to visible.
Note: The setting in the Models area is superordinate to the setting in the Building structure area. Consequently, only the objects of the models selected in the Models area are visible in the full view. |
To see all components of the building model, you can hide masking objects.
As an alternative, you can isolate objects. This option is particularly useful for complex building models, allowing you to focus on particular components.

To deactivate this tool, click Hide again.
The objects you clicked are still hidden.
Note: To make all objects visible again, click Reset. |

Go to the toolbar at the bottom of the full view and click Isolate.
This makes all the other objects transparent so that you can clearly see the selected object(s).
Note: To make all objects visible again, just click Isolate again. |
You can create sections through the building model. These sections are parallel to the x, y or z plane. If you want, you can move the cutting plane so that it is perpendicular to the x, y or z plane.
Note to Allplan users: Allplan and Bimplus use different coordinate systems (Allplan z-axis = Bimplus y-axis; Allplan y-axis = negative Bimplus z-axis). |
→ You have loaded the Bimplus project into BIM Viewer (see "Bauwerksmodell in den BIM Viewer laden") |
Go to the toolbar at the bottom of the full view, click Section and select the cutting plane you want to use. You can choose between X, Y and Z.
Note: To deactivate the section, click Section again. |
