What is the Transfer from Properties

The Transfer from Properties allows to transfer data from Navisworks Properties into the DataView, including creating new records.

 TIPS


Transfer from Properties can be used to save Navisworks schedules into a database.


 ID MATCH REQUIRED


The transfer from Properties requires a valid ID Match to be setup between the 3D and the target DataView

Configuring a Transfer from Properties

  • From BimSens main form, in the top toolbar, open the Transfer Dialogue 
  • Select Model Transfer and click New Transfer
  • In the selection menu, pick Transfer From Properties. the Transfer Configuration Dialogue opens



  • Give the transfer a Name
  • Choose whether to use the Items from the Model selection Only or from the entire model
  • Activate the Inheritance if you want model item in the tree to inherit properties they don't have from their parent nodes
  • In the Mappings for Update grid, map the Model Property that you want to update onto the targetDataView  Column . If you cannot find the model property you are after, try clicking the Refresh Model Properties button to load more properties from the model. When the names of model properties and the columns in the DataView match (more or less), you can use the Auto Mapping button to magically map fields together.
  • If you want to create a new record for model items that are not currently in the DataView, you can use any of the Create Action configured for the DataView by mapping the Action Parameters to the Model Properties.
