BIM Viewer

For procedures, see the step-by-step section.

General Requirements

The following requirements or recommendations apply to working with the Desigo CC BIM Viewer:

• IFC files must be available on BIM models for import. The files can be exported from a BIM tool (for example Autodesk Revit).
• Rooms must be defined in the BIM tool. Otherwise, recursive associations between Desigo CC objects and BIM objects. (Manual associations are always possible.) Moreover, a number of room-oriented functions (for example, room values by windows, etc.) are not possible without rooms.
  NOTE: Since multiple BIM models can be combined (see Additional Procedures), the rooms are extracted from the basic BIM graphic (the graphic dragged to the additional BIM graphics). Ignore all rooms in the additional files.
• Room units must be defined in the BIM tool and exported to the BIM models to display/edit them. Units cannot be added later to Desigo CC.
• Automation station export files (for example SiB-X files) must be available to integrate the building.
• Orient the names (or descriptions) of the Desigo CC objects (floor, rooms) on the corresponding BIM object names to allow recursive association for the “architectural” hierarchy.
• The mapping table may also have to be modified to adapt the process for device detection/association (see Modifying the Product Mapping Table). Special property values for BIM objects may also be required in the BIM tool (Revit).
