Explore the BIM Viewer

The BIM Viewer is built on the Forge Viewer and has several components that enable you to analyze your Revit models within Archibus.

Two Tabs: Assets and Work for Assets

The Assets and Work for Assets tabs, located in the upper left corner, present the details about your assets and their active work.

When you first load a model, the Assets tab is active by default. To see active work orders and the assets to which they pertain, use the Work for Assets tab.

The available options depend on the selected tab. For example, the list of fields on which you can filter or the highlights you make change based upon the selected tab.

Details Pane

Based on the tab you select, Assets or Work for Assets, you will receive:

• the Assets details pane (pictured above). See Review the Asset List.

• the Active Work for Assets details pane, below. which lists work requests that have active work. See Review Assets with Active Work

Filter

Use the filter at the top of the view to search for assets. The selected tab (Assets or Work for Assets) determines the exact fields that the filter presents.

See Search for Assets.
