These can consist of room arrangements, kit of parts, etc. Once published, the modules can be merged or hotlinked into your project. It's all explained in the BIM6x Power Manual 22!

EXAMPLE PROJECT

BIM6x Power Project Library

The BIM6x Power Project 22 file calls for specific parts and textures that are only contained in the BIM6x Power Project Library.

BIM6x Power Project 22

The BIM6x Power Project 22 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 22 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 22

The BIM6x Power Manual 22 is a comprehensive 220 page guide to implementing and customizing the BIM6x Power Template 22. 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 22 INT Version. When you open the BIM6x Power Template 22 in the INT version for the first time, you will need to replace the ARCHICAD Library 22 (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.
