Automatically Mapping BIM Model Materials to the Application Materials

Use the BIMAutoMaterialMapping command to automatically map BIM material names that exist in the loaded BIM file to the material available in the BIM Drawings Materials Styles Library.

After mapping the materials from the BIM file, the Material property of each BIM entity will display the corresponding material name that you mapped to in the Material Library.

When you create or refresh a drawing, BIM entities are represented using the corresponding hatch pattern. The same representation is used when opening the BIM drawings and when placing on sheets.
