Review and Update Asset Details from the BIM Model
Directly from the BIM model you can see equipment details or furniture details.
Review Equipment Details
To review and edit details about equipment, you select the item in the BIM model. For example, you might search for a set of assets and see their location in the BIM model. You can then click on an asset in the model and review its details in the Equipment Details form. If necessary, you can edit these details.
Note: The following examples use the default selection color of light blue. You can set the color for selecting assets using the BIM Viewer Settings command.
Follow this sequence to receive details on an equipment item depicted in the model.
-
Load the BIM Viewer and load a model.
-
In the Assets pane, click the checkbox for the building and click View Assets. In the viewer, the model displays all the assets and includes labels.
-
If necessary, zoom into the model so that you can see a particular equipment item.
-
Click on an equipment item. The viewer displays it in a light shade of blue (default setting). For example, in the below image, the model shows two cooling towers. The tower on the right is selected.
-
Right-click on the selected item and choose More Actions > View Details from the menu.
The view presents the Equipment Details form in the right panel, listing summary information about the selected item in the following sections:
-

Additionally, in this section you can access the following:
-
Click the Maintenance Details button to access diagnostics and work requests:
-
Click the Documents button to access the Documentation tab of the Maintenance Details form.
For example, the Documentation tab is where an asset's installation notes, operating manual, specifications, maintenance manual, product brochure, etc can be stored.
If you want to edit the equipment details, click the Edit button to access the tabbed equipment form. Learn about the form in Adding and Editing Equipment with the Tabbed Equipment Form.
Note: When you edit equipment from the BIM Viewer, you update the data in Archibus; editing assets from the BIM Viewer does not update the data in Revit. To update information in the Revit model from Archibus, you must work with the Archibus Smart Client Extension for Revit.
