The Properties tab allows users to view and, when permitted, edit the properties of model elements directly within BIMWorkplace.
Viewing Element Properties
When you select an element in the viewer:
- All its instance and type properties are displayed in the Properties tab for quick inspection.
When no element is selected:
- The tab displays a list of available properties in the model.
- A second column shows which users have permission to edit each property in the Explorer module.
Important:
Only specific property types can be edited. Properties that directly affect model geometry cannot be modified.
Managing Property Editing Permissions
To define who can edit specific properties:
- Select the property or properties you want to configure.
- Click the Users button in the column header.
- Choose the users who should have permission to edit those properties.
- Click Add and Apply to confirm.
Editing Properties
Once permissions are configured:
- Select an element in the model.
- Open the Properties tab again.
- Editable fields will display a pencil icon.
- Double-click the cell to edit the value.
Properties can also be edited in the Explorer grid, allowing bulk and tabular editing of model data. This workflow is explained in detail here.
All changes made are recorded in the model and become immediately available to users with access.
