EXAMPLE PROJECT

BIM6x Power Project Library

The BIM6x Power Project 23 file calls for specific parts and textures that are only contained in the BIM6x Power Project Library.

BIM6x Power Project 23

The BIM6x Power Project 23 is a fully modeled, three story, mixed use building with over 776 views pre-linked onto 366 layouts. The model contains at least one of each type of model element and is data-rich containing IFC data, preliminary COBie data, schedules, and project indexes. Additionally the project has a variety of professionally created CineRender rendering scenes and publishing sets, and so much more.

The advantage of such a detailed example project lies in the fact that you can inspect what has been built in the model and the project structure, then reverse engineer and modify the methodology to suit your own needs. At this stage it does not contain any additional 2D information such as notes, interior elevations, details, etc. 

DOCUMENTATION

BIM6x Power Layer Matrix 22

The BIM6x Power Layer Matrix 23 is a spreadsheet that shows what layers are visible in each layer combination. It also indicates what type of elements should go on each layer.

BIM6x Power Manual 23

The BIM6x Power Manual 23 is a comprehensive 219 page guide to implementing and customizing the BIM6x Power Template 23. This manual will be continually updated, so please be sure to check back with us to make sure you have the most current version.

METRIC

BIM6x Migration Library

This library is required when you migrate the BIM6x Power Template to the ARCHICAD 23 INT Version. When you open the BIM6x Power Template 23 in the INT version for the first time, you will need to replace the ARCHICAD Library 23 (which in the template referencing the US version), with the INT version. It will be missing some items that are not contained in the INT version, but are contained in the BIM6x Migration Library.
