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 downgrade the LOI level?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by downloading as described above (downgrading the LOD). However, the update feature will never remove properties from objects.

Question 3

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.

Question 4

If a family is modified in Revit by a user, how can I reset the object back to its initial properties?

Accepted Answer

Download it again.

Question 5

Does Onfly support Revit system families?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upload or download system families to and from Onfly via the Onfly Plugin or directly via the online platform. They are handled with RVT files and it is highly recommended that you use the plugin to complete the upload to ensure that you can use them as effectively as possible.

Question 6

If I map the shared parameters from an object without going through Options/Settings, is it integrated directly into the global mapping?

Accepted Answer

No, you must go through “Options” to create or modify the global mapping file. Otherwise, your mapping file will be stored locally on your computer and will not be shared with other team members.
