BIM field mapping fields
Field
Description
BIM import-export type
Select the relevant import-export type from the list. The options are: Import and Export, Import only or Export only.
* 
If you select Export only, you must enter an XML node in the User-defined XML node field.
BIM linked business object
Displays the business object for which you are mapping fields.
Field
Select the field you want to map onto the BIM source files. For example the Name field for the Spaces business object.
Business object definition
Displays the business object whose fields you are mapping. Examples of space related business objects: Spaces, Space usage, Space dimensions.
BIM - default value
If required, enter a default value for the mapped field. For example, a default value for the field Classification group.
* 
If the field type of the mapped field is Boolean, for example the Is planned maintenance required? field, either Yes or No must be selected as default value. If the XML contains a default value, this will be leading in the import. An unspecified default value is treated as a No. If you select a default value for a Boolean field in Planon, this is leading in the export. After saving it, the value is also displayed in the Default XML value field. Note: for Boolean fields None is not a valid value. If you select that value, it is treated as No.
BIM XML node
Select the BIM XML node that corresponds with the field from Planon, for example SpaceDescription.
Name
Enter a name for the mapped field.
User-defined XML node
For the Export only option, you must define an XML node to place the exported data in.
