Exports 3D designs of a job for use in building models. Supported formats are:
• *.ifc
• *.ath (Revit family)
A prerequisite for exporting as a Revit family is the previous import of this with the Import Revit family command.
Program operation
When you execute the command, the Dialog box Projects is displayed. Here, you select the job or partial job containing the objects to be exported. As soon as this has happened, a further dialog box follows in which you can adjust further export settings.
Dialog box Export to BIM
db_ath_bim_export
On the left side of the dialog box you can see the elements contained in the job (bars, infills, etc.)
By deactivating the switches in front of the respective object, you can exclude it from export.
Export type
Here, select the format for the export.
Once you have set the export type, the corresponding attributes are displayed below.

Item attributes can be assigned directly to the selected objects. With <<Add>> you can create a new attribute with the corresponding value. You can change existing attributes by direct cell editing.
