Structural Members
- Export catalog members as datum geometry
- Exports catalog members as datum geometry. Select this option
when your building model has a large number of catalog members of varying
lengths.
- Create Structure Detail Design Members
- Exports steel members as
Structure Design
members.
Note:
If the system fails to find a Structure Section
product in the database, it creates a member from component library. This
situation could occur if you fail to select the check box and try to use the
BIM export steel member in
Structure Design.
Export Priority
This section is a listing for the elements the system processes during
Export BIM. The
app
processes the building by story. For each story, it uses the order set in this
Export Order list to determine the processing
order.
Note:
Export BIM includes many
elements in its export that the system omits from
Export Order. These features, catalog
components, and position components are missing from
Export Order because they have no impact on
the geometry of other features.
Wall Objects Priority
This section is a table of
Export BIM priorities determining the export of
walls.
- Attribute
- Lists the
Export BIM attributes that create walls,
that is, walls, spaces, elevators, and stairwells. The column includes
Thickness and
Creation Time.
The system applies wall attributes in the order they are listed
in
Attribute.
- Sort
- Controls the order (ascending or descending) the
app
uses to sort the values of each wall attribute.
- Active/Inactive
- Lists
Yes for any attribute
Export BIM includes and
Ignore for any attribute the export is to
exclude.
Slab Object Priority
This section is a table of
Export BIM priorities determining the export of
slabs.
- Attribute
- Lists the
Export BIM attributes that create slabs,
that is, slabs and elevator pits. The column includes
Thickness,
Overall Depth,
Top,
Bottom, and
Creation Time.
The system applies Slab attributes in the order they are listed
in
Attribute.
- Sort
- Controls the order (ascending or descending) the
app
uses to sort the values of each slab attribute.
- Active/Inactive
- Lists
Yes for any attribute
Export BIM includes and
Ignore for any attribute the export is to
exclude.
Controls
- UP and
DOWN
- Use these controls to change the order of the attributes or
export order. From the list, select the attribute or export order element and
then click
UP or
DOWN until you are satisfied with the order.
- Ascending List
- Use these controls to change how the values of an attribute are
sorted. You can set the order for an attribute either in ascending or
descending order. The
Ignore selection directs the
Export BIM to ignore the attribute entirely.
To change the
Sort sense order, select the attribute and
from the list, click
Ascending or
Descending.
To have
Export BIM ignore an attribute, select the
attribute and from the list, click
Ignore.
