BIM model types
By subdividing a BIM model into various BIM model types you can distinguish between classifications, such as Mechanical, Electrical and so on.
For more information about the required data, see the following table:
Field
Description
Code
Enter a unique code.
Name
Enter a name to identify the model.
BIM model
Displays the BIM model for which you are creating a new type.
BIM model type category
Select the BIM model type category (electrical, mechanical, …) for the selected BIM model.
You can specify a BIM model type category on BIM models > BIM model type categories step.
Path reference BIM model
Specify the WebDAV file reference to the BIM model (in svf format).
Autodesk cloud reference
Enter the Autodesk cloud file reference from the Conversion result.
* 
If both the BIM model reference and the Autodesk cloud reference contain a value, the latter takes precedence.
* 
•    When sharing URLs via mail or chat or any other means of communication, invisible characters (zero-width space) may be added that invalidate the URL. When receiving a URL in such a way, pasting it in a text editor will remove these invisible characters.
•    Please ensure that the .json file type is specified in the Document file types field (System settings > File locations). If this is not the case, the json file cannot be downloaded from the Autodesk server.
Start date
Enter or select a start date for the BIM model type.
End date
Enter or select an end date for the BIM model type.
Offset
Specify the BIM model's coordinates if you want to display multiple BIM models in BIM viewer.
The coordinates specify the distance from the origin along the x, y, and z-axes, respectively.
The coordinates should be specified in JSON format:
{x: 100, y: 200, z: 0}
