How do I update models in Pirros when changes occur in BIM 360?
When working with models hosted in BIM 360, it is important to understand how updates are managed in Pirros. This guide explains the steps to ensure your models in Pirros reflect the latest changes from BIM 360.
Overview of Model Updates
Pirros does not automatically receive updates from BIM 360. To ensure your models are up-to-date, you can either sync minor changes or re-upload the model for bulk updates. Both methods are straightforward and ensure the existing content in Pirros is updated without requiring deletion of the old model.
Syncing Minor Changes
For small updates or changes to specific details in your BIM 360 model:
Make the necessary edits in BIM 360.
Use the Pirros plugin to sync these changes back to Pirros.
The updated details will be reflected in the existing model in Pirros.
Re-uploading for Bulk Changes
For significant updates or bulk changes to your BIM 360 model:
Re-upload the updated model to Pirros using the same process as the initial upload.
Ensure you select the same project in Pirros during the upload process.
The existing model in Pirros will be updated automatically without requiring you to delete the old version.
Handling Existing Models During Updates
When re-uploading an updated model, there is no need to delete the old model in Pirros. As long as you select the same project during the upload process, the existing model will be updated seamlessly. By following these steps, you can ensure that your models in Pirros are always up-to-date with the latest changes from BIM 360.
