Core TSIs : BIM viewer : BIM viewer overlays
BIM viewer overlays
An overlay is a layer on top of a BIM model; it remains completely separate from the model and is used only as a reference.
In the Planon application, you can use an overlay to highlight or mark specific data.
The overlay functionality is available for Assets and Spaces & Workspaces.

An overlay is a static view based on a data only report. To refresh the data, you need to regenerate the report and reload the overlay. To ensure performance and stability, a query identifies the linked assets/spaces in the model before running the report, including only those in the report and sending their data to BIM viewer.
