The BIM Information panel opens on the left-hand side of the Enscape window and can be opened in all Projections.

All BIM information is listed and categorized according to how it was entered in Archicad. It allows you to display and, to a certain extent, browse BIM Data in your project. This information is only editable in Archicad.

BIM Information Panel in Enscape Viewport

You can select the element to view its information in several ways.

You can directly select it in the Enscape window. Move the mouse over the desired area, and each element is highlighted. Alternatively, you can select the element from the list in the BIM Information panel, and as you move the mouse over each element it is highlighted.

Selecting BIM Information

You can also use the Search facility to be found at the top of the BIM Information panel. It returns any BIM Information relating to the search term you use. If you hover over the returned results, the top-level items highlight all the objects of that type in the Enscape window. You can then expand the top-level item (by clicking the arrow next to it) and click on its instances to view the BIM data of each instance.

Lastly, right-clicking on geometry in the Enscape window provides two options, one option being Show BIM Data.
