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.
You can use an overlay, for example, to:
• Quickly get an overview of an asset's status by configuring traffic light colors representing specific statuses.
• Visually identify an asset or space in a BIM model.
• Show/identify asset groups by color
 | 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. |
