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.
The Bimplus project used for linking is usually created by the BIM coordinator responsible for the construction project. As an alternative, you can also create a new Bimplus project while uploading the data. However, only the owner or an administrator of a Bimplus team can create new Bimplus projects in this team. Therefore, the team owner or a team administrator must upload the data for the first time.
