Issue Manager palette

Palettes

You can use the Issue Manager palette to communicate with all those involved in a Bimplus project. In Allplan, you can access the issues of the currently loaded Allplan project directly from Bimplus. In addition, you can use Allplan to create new issues in Bimplus or edit existing issues. You can also import or export issues in BCF format or export issues to an Excel file from Allplan.

This is only possible if you have used the Allplan workstation to sign in to Bimplus and if the Allplan project is linked with a Bimplus project, that is to say, the Allplan project data has been uploaded to Bimplus at least once.

Note: See Handling projects using Allplan Bimplus in the for more information about handling projects in a BIM-compliant manner by using Bimplus, the web service offered by ALLPLAN GmbH.

Preview

Displays a preview of the view of the building model saved for an issue.

Go to the Issues area and click an issue to display the view of the building model for this issue in the preview and in the active viewport.

By selecting Set view or clicking within the preview, you can restore the view saved for the issue in the active viewport while editing the building model in Allplan.

You can see spots in the preview. These spots are markers, visually linking issues and objects.

Issues

New issue

Creates a new issue for the current Allplan project. Use the Issue properties palette to enter detailed information about this issue. You can save the new issue in draft mode or publish it immediately.

A new issue is not available to the other project participants until you have published it. Then, the other project participants can retrieve this new issue from their Allplan workstations and directly on Bimplus.
