Mapping to Allplan / Bimplus

You can transfer elements, property sets and properties from BIMQ to Bimplus - Allplan's Common Data Environment (CDE).

With BIMQ it is possible to exchange the elements, property sets and properties defined in the project guidelines directly with Bimplus via a dialog box. The project template is then available to all models on Bimplus within a project room and can be synchronized accordingly with the Allplan models.
