How to create, upload and link a BIM model to your first SeveUp project?

Getting Started: Creating a New BIM Project

Let’s demonstrate how straightforward it is to create a project from scratch in the SeveUp app. Firstly, just log in to your SeveUp App account, prepare a BIM model in .ifc format, and then follow these steps:

Navigate to the My projects page in the SeveUp app

You’ll find the “Projects” button toward the top of the left navigation bar. Click it to proceed to the Projects page.

Create a new project

After clicking “Projects,” you’ll be directed to the My projects page. At the top of this page, you’ll find a “Create project” button. Click it to initiate a new project in the SeveUp app.

Select “New empty project”

A pop-up will appear with various options. Click “New empty project” to start a new project where you can add your BIM files.

Enter a name, description, and cover image

Firstly, personalize your project with a name, description, and a cover image to help you distinguish it from your other projects. Then, once you’re done, click ‘Create,’ and subsequently, your project will be prepared for action!

Adding Your .ifc model Model to Your SeveUp Project

Now it’s time to add your existing BIM file to your newly created project.

Go to “BIM Models”

On the My projects page, select the “BIM Models” option in the left navigation bar.

Upload your BIM model

At the top of the page, choose “Upload BIM Model” to upload your model.

Choose the model type

A pop-up will appear where you can select the model type, the file you want to upload, and how you want it to be named within your project. Begin by selecting the “Model Type.”

Attach the BIM model file

Next, actively select your BIM model file by clicking the ‘Attach File’ (paperclip) icon on the right. Initially, you can upload it from your computer (‘Local Source’) or alternatively provide a URL (‘From URL’). Moreover, if you are using a SeveUp connector, those options will also be available here.

Select the .ifc file you want to upload

If uploading a local file, locate the desired .ifc file, select it, and click “Open.”

Enter a file name

Assign your BIM model the name you desire within your project. Once all fields are filled, click “Create.”

Wait for the BIM model to upload

As soon as your .ifc model is successfully uploaded and ready to use, a green checkmark will appear in the “Jobs” column.

Linking Your BIM Model to A Project

After successfully uploading your BIM model, associating it with your newly created project is just a few clicks away. Here’s how:

Go back to the “My projects” page

To link your model to your project, click on the “Projects” button to access your list of projects.

Select your new project

Click the thumbnail for your new project to view all the project details.

Add the BIM model to your project

Ensure you’re in the “BIM Models” tab by selecting it, and then click the large “Add BIM Model” button in the center of the page.

Select a BIM model from your Library

To choose the BIM model you just uploaded, select the “From the Library” button. Additionally, you have the option to upload a new .ifc model from this step if you wish.

Find your BIM file

Click the menu icon in the “Model” field to view all the models in your Library.

Click the menu icon in the “Model” field to view all the models in your Library. You can sort them by name, revision, model type, or milestone. If you know the file’s name, use the search bar. If necessary, select a specific revision; otherwise, as a default, the system will automatically use the latest revision.

Afterward, select the .ifc model you uploaded, and then click ‘OK.’

Finalize the addition of the BIM model to your project

Complete the linking process by clicking “Create.” Your .ifc model will now appear on the “Project Details” page and be seamlessly integrated with your project.

Thanks to this handy guide, you’ve successfully created, uploaded, and linked a BIM model to a new project in the SeveUp app. Now, it’s time to bring your architectural vision to life!
