Add-ons your file uses

BimCraft notes in an IFC file which add-ons wrote into it, and offers to add the ones you are missing when you open it.

Written for BimCraft 0.8. The same help is inside the app: press F1.

What it does

When an add-on writes into the model (a truss, a pipe run), BimCraft records the add-on and its version on the IFC project, in a property set called CadCraft_AddOns. The record is written in the same undo step as the add-on's own change, so undoing the change takes the record back too. Other programs ignore the property set; what the add-on drew stays in the file either way.

Steps

  1. Open an IFC file that an add-on helped to make.
  2. If an add-on it used is not on, a note above the model says which ones, with a button to add them from your Library account.
  3. Add them, or close the note. The model opens either way.

Common mistakes

  • No note appears. You are not signed in to your account in this tab, or the file holds no record (it was made before records, or by another program).
  • The change list says "undefined". Fixed: labels now show the add-on's name.
