Question 2

After installing your plugin, the “Always Load” message appears when opening Revit – is this normal?

Accepted Answer

This message appears when opening Revit after you have installed the BIM&CO plugin. This is perfectly normal; it’s an Autodesk security message that appears just to make sure that the Revit add-on you have downloaded is safe. Click on “Always Load” to stop this message showing when opening the program. Click “Load Once” if you want to approve and enable the plugin each time you open Revit. Or, click “Don’t Load” if you don’t want to load the plugin. Please be aware that the BIM&CO plugin is safe, and we recommend that you click “Always Load”.

Question 5

Who does the GDPR apply to?

Accepted Answer

While current EU legislation (the 1995 Data Protection Directive) governs entities within the European Union, the territorial scope of the GDPR is much broader, in the sense that it will also apply to companies established outside the EU which a) sell their products to EU residents; or b) monitor the behaviour of individuals in the EU. In other words, even if you are based outside the EU, from the moment you control or process data from EU citizens, you are affected by GDPR. As all companies are different and the GDPR follows a risk-based approach to data protection, companies need to evaluate their own data collection and storage practices. They must also seek legal advice to ensure that their business practices comply with the GDPR.

Question 6

What do the .obj files do?

Accepted Answer

An .obj file is a file created by certain modelling programs such as Archicad, 3DSMax, Rhinoceros, Inventor and many others. Other applications may also be configured to work with Revit to allow .obj files to be exported.

These files allow a model to be generated in our platform’s viewer, simply by uploading this file during stage 4 of the BIM object editing process.

BIM&CO will generate a model in the viewer as soon as you upload a Revit model file. Once this model has been created and the preview is active, the grey eye icon will turn blue.

Click on one of your object’s references to see it in the viewer.

You can also upload many other formats to BIM&CO, but in such cases the view
