First of all I love the BIM feature, but some things that might be useful to change.
Nothing happens when you click on objects from linked Revit file. It would be really helpful if we can click on those objects and it tells you all the specification of it and what category that object is in.
If we have an option of hiding objects in enscape instead of hiding it in Revit.
In our latest preview, or with our latest release tomorrow, Enscape 2.7, we’ll provide the option to display BIM information inside Enscape. Check out what’s coming in general with 2.7 here: Enscape 2.7 Preview 5 FAQ
The BIM feature is showing up and working properly when used as a plugin within Revit, however a standalone exe or web file exported from Revit loses this BIM functionality. We would really like to be able to use the BIM feature on standalone exports as well.
*we would want to first be able to tailor what properties do (but more specifically don’t) get exported - which, (appreciated) could require a fairly comprehensive data-miner checkbox/selection interface.
Bit puzzled as to what the feature is intended to be used for? It’s nowhere near the level of Navisworks type programmes in terms of BIM workflow, so I’m unclear when it would actually be useful.
Agreed, but in the same way we’d also never use Navis for anything visual, I’d never use Enscape for “BIM”. You can’t select objects in Enscape can you? So essentially it’s just a list of what’s in the model - I already have that in Revit. I’m genuinely curious what the workflow is that it’s supposed to support?
Ah, that makes more sense, I didn’t get a chance to try it, as I’ve had to revert back to v2.6 because I’m having trouble with renders crashing in ultra mode
we do “virtual tours” to walk our project models - screen-grab-snagging all along the way. To be able to select an element and get (at the very least) it’s ElementID - to aid in re-locating the problem once back in Revit, has already been imagined by my teams as an incredibly useful function.
hi, its a great work, progressing every version, its good you have added this feature. if you can add slice the view in .exe options, it will be great with this BIM feature identifying the exact object ,along with highlights.
No ETA at the moment but I’ve gladly filed a feature request for this topic. Thank you for the additional feedback as well @archikrish81 , @snowyweston.
