Sharing BIM Models for Display

The data pool provides a viewer that allows all project participants to open the BIM models using only the browser without any additional software. However, the BIM models are not automatically available for viewing, but must be released for display by the BIM coordinator.

SHARE BIM MODELS FOR DISPLAY

To share a BIM model for viewing in the viewer:

  1. For the management of BIM models, special rights as a BIM coordinator are required. Open the BIM Model Manager in the dashboard or click on the button in the "BIM" tab "Open BIM Administration".
  2. In the BIM administration, all models that have already been released via the review workflow and can now be converted for display are displayed. Converting the BIM models is necessary because the browser requires a specific file format to display the BIM models. Select the BIM model from the view that you want to make available for display and click on the "Upload and convert"
  3. The selected BIM model is now converted by the system and rendered for display in the browser. The conversion starts immediately and can take a few minutes depending on the size of the BIM model.
  4. After completion of the process, a status message confirms the successful conversion. You can now release another BIM model for viewing or leave BIM Model Management.

TIPP

BIM model management gives you the option of making only selected BIM models available for viewing and of keeping working or partial models of specialist planners or executing companies only for review and approval. It is important that the review workflow must consist of at least one review step, and the assigned approvers then have the option of rendering the BIM models for viewing after the workflow is completed.
