A dedicated change panel is displayed when importing, exporting, or comparing and updating IDF files. The panel names vary based on the command.
Likewise, a specific panel is displayed when importing, pushing, or pulling IDX files. The panel names vary based on the command. For example:
IDF and IDX files have three possible change categories:
Previsualization of any element in the change panel can be unveiled in 3D by selecting or multi-selecting those elements in the change panel. All selected elements in the change panel are highlighted. In the More options section of the IDF or IDX panel, select the Reframe on Changes option to reframe to the previsualization of the selected, changed elements and select the Ghost Representation of Context option to put background elements in a ghost representation. Any element in the change panel that is not selected, in other words, not used for previsualization, is shown as a ghost representation in 3D. Note:
You cannot use previsualization to manipulate the
position or to modify the geometry of any element.
When an element is added or new, it is highlighted in blue on the 3DModel. Similarly, when an element is deleted or old, it is highlighted in red on the 3DModel. Modified elements are both blue and red with blue representing an element's read/write information to IDF or IDX. Red represents the element exiting the current 3D model. The following image provides a graphical representation of an Added
element:
The following image provides a graphical representation of a Removed
element: The following image provides a graphical representation of a Modified
element: Note:
The blue
element represents the new location from IDF or IDX. The red element represents the element
in 3D.
