Review and Edit Room Details from the BIM Model

Directly from the BIM model you can see room details and change details if necessary. To review and edit details about rooms, you select the item in the BIM model. For example, you might search for a set of rooms and see their location in the BIM model. You can then click on a room in the model and review its details in the Room Details form. If necessary, you can edit these details and display and create additional fields.

Review the Room Profile for a Selected Room

Follow this sequence to receive details on an equipment item depicted in the model.

Load the BIM Viewer and use the Buildings command to load a model.
Move to the Rooms tab.
In the Rooms pane, click the checkbox for a floor and click View Rooms.
- In the viewer, the model displays a floor plan, which includes labels.
- You can turn off the labels if desired.
Click on a room. The viewer displays it in a lighter shade of blue (default setting). You can set the color for selecting items using the BIM Viewer Settings command.
The view presents the Room Details pop-up form, listing summary information about the selected room. Click Close on the Room Details form when through.
You can continue to review rooms in this manner by selecting each room in turn. You do not need to deselect the selected item before selecting a new one; instead, close the Room Details form and click on the next room. The Rom Details form will redisplay with each selection you make.
When through viewing room details, you must unselect the current room . Unselecting the room frees the cursor so you choose other commands and actions.

To unselect the room, right-click on the room and then choose Clear Selection from the pop-up menu
