Adding and Editing Object Attributes

Once you begin to create the project model, you can use the BIM attributes command to add and edit attributes for each object in the project. You can also use the command to add extensions to an object by selecting from the available extensions for the enabled construction classification standards.

Before you begin:
  • Ensure that you and others working on the project enable the constructions classifications standards for the project.
    Note: Your administrator may instead enable the construction classifications standards for everyone on the project.
  • Begin to create your project model.
