If you have a conceptual model without any classification, you can turn these
elements into classified BIM elements using BIMCLASSIFY.
For more information about this command, visit the Command Reference article
BIMCLASSIFY.
Classifying entities
Select an entity in the drawing to classify.
Choose a classification type (1) in the BIM command
group in the Quad.
The BIM data is assigned to the selected entity.
(Optional) Choose the classify manually option
from the Quad to access the BIM Element classification types. This displays
the Classify as BIM Element dialog box (2):
Note: The classification types are grouped into
the following categories:
Building Core Elements
Building Architecture Elements
Building Service Elements
Building Structure Elements
Spatial Structure Elements
Do one of the following:
Enter a specific name of the BIM Element type in the
Search field (3) to filter the
available element types.
Select a Building Element type from the list.
(Optional) Check the Convert to
block option (4) and enter a name in the
Block name field (5).
This option will convert the selected entity to a block and
classify the block reference to the defined Building Element type.
Click the OK button (6) to accept
it.
(Optional) Use the Auto () option
from the Quad to classify the selected entities automatically.
This
automatic classification is done based on the geometrical features of
the object. Always check whether it was correctly classified.
To remove the assigned BIM data from the entity, select the entity in the
drawing and choose the Unclassify () option
from the Quad.
The BIM data is removed from the selected entity.
Properties of the classified entities
