Managing issues by means of the issue manager

When handling projects based on the BIM method, you must make sure that all project members always know exactly what to do.

The process of creating, retrieving, and editing issues reflects the cyclic BIM workflow of exchanging data, adjusting and detailing specialist models, and updating the building model. This process is the same throughout every project, accompanying all those involved.

Therefore, you and your planning partners need tools that make issue management efficient and comfortable. The Issue Manager palette connects your Allplan workstation directly with Bimplus. So you can immediately see new issues, create new issues yourself, or edit existing issues without having to close Allplan.

Adding further information to issues

One of the most important features of handling projects by means of Bimplus is the option to attach comments or other information, such as file attachments or hyperlinks, to issues. Thus, all those involved in the project can communicate and exchange information directly through the building model. As a result, any additions or changes are always up to date and available to all project participants at any time.

Retrieving spots placed for an issue

When editing issues on the BIMPLUS web portal, you can place spots directly in the model. Spots mark particular points in the model, that is, specific places that require attention. You can retrieve these spots directly in Allplan.

Marking elements

Design elements affected by an issue can be marked in Allplan. Each time you select the issue, the marked elements appear in color in Allplan. You can select the marked elements in the list box of bimplus_Properties_Elements Assigned objects in the Issue properties palette on the BIMPLUS web portal.

Saving perspectives for issues

A perspective of the model will be saved for each issue. As soon as you select an issue, you can see the view of the model saved for this issue in the preview and in the active viewport.

Importing and exporting issues in BCF format

The BIM Collaboration Format (in short BCF) is the data format defined by buildingSMART for exchanging information between project participants when handling projects based on the BIM method. Regardless of the software products used, this standard format guarantees a smooth and loss-free data exchange.

Consequently, you can use Allplan to directly import and export BCF files of the issues created for the Bimplus projects.

Exporting the issue list as an Excel table

It is often difficult to keep track of issues. This is particularly true when you have a complex issue list. Therefore, you can export the complete issue list of a Bimplus project in Excel format.

Retrieving chronologies of issues

A certified BIM workflow requires you to document all changes made to an issue. Therefore, you can retrieve the chronology of each issue (author, date, time, and type of change).
