BIM/IFC Widget

The BIM/IFC widget allows you to configure a 3D model under the BIM/IFC standard and add sensors to the desired elements of the model.

How it Works

BIM/IFC Widget BIM/IFC Widget

The widget displays the selected model, covering the widget area. To the left of the widget is a panel with available actions, and to the right are listed the selected and monitored elements.

Actions Panel

With the Actions Panel, you can:

  • All elements displays a list of all elements in the model, allowing you to search and select an element quickly

  • Show/Hide list allows you to show/hide the right panel of elements
  • Highlight elements will select all preconfigured elements from the right panel in the model
  • Capture an image downloads a snapshot of only the model in its current state
  • Create clipping plane enables the option to select an element in the model to create a cutting layer that allows you to cut the model and see elements inside
  • Remove clipping plane removes the selected cutting layer
  • Enable/disable clipping planes activates/deactivates the cutting layers without needing to remove and add
  • Clear cache and reload clears the cache and reloads the image to return it to its initial state

Elements Panel
