All image file types (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), PDF, or CAD files (DWG, DXF) that are imported as background plans can be recognized. Files should not be links but imports.
When importing the file, the image size does not always correspond to the actual size. Scaling allows obtaining elements that will be correctly sized.
The cropping function can be used for CAD files to limit their size or to restrict detection to the representation of a single level.
If the actual size of the plan exceeds 100 meters, a message is displayed to check if the plan scale is correct to avoid detection errors or inconsistent results.
Access to the detection function requires a valid Autodesk® account, as well as a subscription to the service after the free trial period.
Upon add-in startup, a check is performed to ensure that the server is accessible. If unable to connect, check that the Internet connection is working, wait a few minutes before retrying, and if the problem persists, contact WiseBIM support.
Issues may arise during automatic reconstruction. If the model has not been generated, check the scale and try detection again only on the walls by deselecting other elements. If the problem persists, contact support and indicate the plan where detection is not working.
If the DWG contains many elements, try importing it while limiting layers to those representing the architecture. If the representation contains light-colored lines, import it in grayscale.
Ensure at launch that the element should indeed be detected and that there is a family for that category.
Application updates are frequently performed to enhance features. To ensure compatibility and operational security, updating the application via the store is necessary.
The application runs on Windows 10 and 11, for Revit 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Detection operates on a single plane and does not consider other levels. Prior to detection, align images on different levels and ensure the scale is correct across all plans.
If the project lacks default families to create these elements, detection is not applied for this category. Cancel, import a family, and then rerun detection.
