To Hyperlinks
What is the Transfer to Hyperlinks
The Transfer to Hyperlinks allows to transfer data the DataView as labels or hyperlinks on the model.
ID MATCH REQUIRED |
|
|
The transfer to Hyperlinks requires a valid ID Match to be setup between the 3D and the target DataView |
Configuring the Transfer to Hyperlinks
- 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 To Hyperlinks. the Transfer Configuration Dialogue opens
- Give the transfer a Name
- Under Format,
- select the DataView column to use to Name the link, and
- the column to use as a Url navigation path
- Check the box Use Hyperlinks Category for Navisworks to create hyperlinks with icons. If unchecked, Naviworks will create 3d labels instead
- Under Multiple Links, select the method to separate multiple links attached to the same object:
- None: all links are superposed
- Relative: use the default location as base point and offset by 10cm vertically
- Absolute: use item bounding box coordinates as base point and offset by 10cm vertically
RELATIVE OR ABSOLUTE? |

|
At this time it is unclear why some models require Relative positioning and some models require Absolute positioning. It is recommended that you try the process on a small test model first to see which method your model require. |
- Under Existing, specify whether existing links must be kept and merged with new links, or replaced. Note:
- this only applies to link that exist before the transfer is ran: in Replace mode, if an item has multiple matches in the DataView the multiple links will still all be attached
- if multiple hyperlinks have the same Name and Url only the first one will be attached to the item, to prevent duplicates
