Create a new BIM model

To upload a new BIM model to the data pool, a new container must be created. The authorization system determines which people from the project team can create a BIM model.

Only one BIM model can be created per filing folder, so a separate folder must be created for each of the required BIM models. The permission to create and access the BIM model is defined together with the filing folder and cannot be changed by the user.
Each container holds up to 2 GB of data, and the maximum size of a single BIM model can be up to 1 GB. In the configuration, it is possible to define which file formats may be uploaded in the container.

Each container has a workflow for reviewing and approving the BIM model. This review workflow must have at least one review step – this is typically the BIM Manager, which then also decides whether the BIM model is released for display.

CREATE A NEW BIM MODEL

To create a new container to upload BIM models:

  1. Click on the button "New BIM Model" in the toolbar of the view. The new container opens.
  2. Lay out the filing folder for the new BIM model. Note that only one BIM model can be stored in each folder.
  3. Enter the relevant keywords and milestones or have the existing keywords displayed by clicking on the link "Keywords" and select the desired keywords.
  4. Click on the button "Upload files" and drag and drop the desired files into the dialog box. Optionally, in the dialog box, you can choose the "Select" - in a separate window, the explorer will then open for the selection of the desired files. To select multiple files from Explorer, the "Ctrl" key must be pressed.
  5. Close the Explorer window using the "Open" and start uploading all selected files by clicking on the "Upload".
  6. Repeat steps 5 and 6 if you want to upload more files.
  7. The permissions for persons and groups have been read by the system from the storage folder and are stored in the section "Eligibility" displayed. It is not possible to change the specified authorization.
  8. The "Workflow" section displays the specified inspection steps. The test run for BIM models must include at least one test step.
  9. Forward the new BIM model for review by clicking the button "Save & Forward for Review". Alternatively, you can enter the entries with "Save & Close" if the container has not yet been fully filled.
