Creating iModels


An iModel is a container for all the project’s data needed for a Design Review

To Create an iModel in ProjectWise 365, select the New button in the Design Review tool.

In the Create Design Review dialog box, input the Name, the Description (optional) and the Maximum Extent. The maximum extent is used to help keep your iModel clean. When new elements are imported, those outside the extent will be flagged for further processing. This extent will also help to zoom to the area of interest in web viewers.

Click the Create button to Create the iModel.

At any time, you can modify the details of the iModel. Click on the three dots on the iModel and select Edit.

You may want to have an image that identifies the project, simply select Upload Image, select the image from your repository and click Update

Now your iModel is ready to process the files that will be used in a Design Review.

To do this, you need to create at least one Connection to the iModel. There are three ways to create a Connection and add files to a Design Review.

Three ways to create iModels:

A model can be viewed in a few different locations, iModel Window on the home page or iModels page. 

Homepage View 

iModels Page 

iModels can be accessed by selecting the iModel in the iModels page. 

The tool controls can be docked to either side of the viewing window by dragging the control onto the docking indicator panels. The control can either be pinned to always display or unpinned becoming a flyout when needed. 

Any of the tabs in the controls can also be pulled out and docked as a split screen with the control or docked as a separate control.
