Adding BIM business objects
At the BIM business objects selection level, you can link Planon business objects to entities from the BIM source model.
Procedure
1. Go to BIM source definitions > BIM business objects.
2. Click Add on the action panel.
3. Select the business objects you want to link. You can add BIM - linked properties, floors, spaces, assets and building elements to the source definition.
 | If you work with user-defined business objects, you have to select the relevant user-defined business object. If you select a user-defined business object, it will only be used for the creation of new Planon records. During the import, Planon will update all the Planon records of the user-defined business objects that belong to the main business object, independent of the selected user-defined business object. |
4. In the BIM XML node field, select the BIM XML node that contains the relevant XML attributes. For a description of this field and the other fields on this layout, see BIM business objects fields.
| | If you select an incorrect node for Facility (Property), Floors, Spaces, Building elements or Assets, the application will still process the import, but it will produce a log file listing all individual errors per business object subnode. For example, if you import 1 floor with 3 spaces and you enter the wrong node, you might expect a single error, but you will get 4 errors: 1 for the floor and 3 for the spaces. |
5. Complete the other relevant fields.
6. Click Save.
The linked business objects are automatically populated.
