Modeling

1. Launch Bimplus and select a model that has been directly imported from Allplan or SDS2 (IFC imported models are not supported at this time).

2. Click Connexis on the left-side panel from the Bimplus dashboard.

3. Make sure the model is visible and centered using the tool wheel and Project Navigator buttons.

4. From the Object Navigator tool, filter the model so only the structural steel elements are displayed.

5. From the Object Navigator tool, activate the members that connect to the connection node(s) you want to be designed. You can design a single node or all nodes at the same time.

Note: In the 3D model, activated members are shown in red.

6. From the Connection Designer tool, select your desired design code and then click Next to send the model to the SDS2 cloud design engine. This will take a few moments as the solution creates the cubes and solve the connections. Refer to Viewing Results for step-by-step instructions to review the connections.
