Quick Start Guide BCF Manager\BIMcollab palette Allplan
This Quick Start Guide describes the basic online workflow of the BIMcollab palette in Allplan. It will get you up and running in no time.
Allplan 2024 has a BIMcollab plugin in the Technical Preview so that users can connect to their BIMcollab project directly from Allplan via an additional palette and create and edit issues without BCF import/export.
Seamless integration of the BIMcollab issue workflow into Allplan eliminates the time-consuming and error prone BCF import/export process.
The plugin provides full BIMcollab functionality in Allplan. This saves time and helps to avoid inconsistencies in the BIM process.
There is no need for a separate installation of the plugin, it is automatically installed with Allplan 2024.
