Automatically Generating Annotated Drawings from a BIM Model

Use the BIMAutoAll command to automatically create annotated and dimensioned 2D DWG drawings, such as plans, sections, and elevations, from the BIM model.

Each drawing created from the same BIM model is stored in a separate .dwg file. The command also creates sheets and inserts drawings on it at a specified scale.

BIM drawings retain all the BIM information. Additionally, a link with the BIM model is created. When a new version of the BIM model is available, you can automatically update the BIM drawings.

Each drawing type has a specific graphical display and appears in a different branch in the BIM Navigator.

The command launches successively all steps necessary for BIM drawing creation:

• Creates 2D drawings from the BIM model
• Adds dimensions
• Places all necessary labels by extracting information from BIM entities
• Maps existing BIM model materials to the application materials.
• Places drawings on separate Sheets

You can manually customize automatically generated drawings.
