Update BIM Settings

This task can be completed by administrators and those with Modify Settings permissions.

BIM Settings should be established prior to using the module as it contains the basic preferences for setting up the BIM module including the folder where BIM files will be pulled from when viewed in the BIM Viewer and where saved viewpoints will be stored.

To update BIM settings

  1. Go to the BIM module.

    2. See Access BIM Module for instructions.

  2. From the Project Menu, click Settings in the BIM section.

    3. The BIM Settings page displays.

  3. Complete all necessary fields.
    • Project: Choose the project to update settings for.
    • Saved Viewpoint Default Folder Path: Viewpoints of different areas in the model can be saved from the BIM Viewer. You can optionally choose a default folder to add saved viewpoints to. This will ensure smoother accessibility of viewpoints.
    • BIM File Import Folder: Choose folder path that will be monitored for new and modified BIM files to be imported to the system and available in the BIM Viewer.
  4. Click Save.
