Question 1

How can I use the plug-in to switch an object from LOD300 to LOD100?

Accepted Answer

🔁 It all depends on the name of the .rfa files of the different LODs of the object.

If they have identical names, objects in the project and all their instances will be replaced automatically.

There is no need to perform a manual replacement.

If the files have different names, the object will be downloaded as a new object, which means that the previous object must be replaced manually.

Question 2

Can I share a mapping configuration with my team so that BIM&CO’s properties will be “translated” the same way?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

In the plugin settings, you can edit a mapping between your shared parameters and BIM&CO’s properties, then setup a Mapping Configuration that will also be available in the plugin for your entire Onfly team.

As such, any upload or download will be treated the same in terms of its property mapping configuration.
