Rules and Tips for Linking the Data

Apply the following rules to link data point to BIM objects:

  • Building, floor, room are linked by comparing the data point description (in the current engineering language) with BIM objects on the same hierarchy level. NOTE: BIM object names can only be supplied in one language.
  • The data point description and the BIM object name must be identical to link them. An algorithm performs the best possible link.
  • The link with the BIM data can occur from any Desigo CC view. The Technical View is the best view since it is nearly identical to the view created from the BIM modules.
  • Room units (objects below the room level) are controlled with the help of an assignment table. For more information, see the Set Configurations.
  • You can also use drag-and-drop to manually link data points to BIM objects.
  • More than one data point can be linked to a BIM object.
