Search for Equipment Standards

Use the Search for Equipment Standards, located on the ribbon, to search for assets of a particular equipment standard according to the equipment standard's associated family and category. Additionally, you can refine your search for particular attributes of an equipment standard.

Note : If you have not associated standards with BIM families, you can search for assets according to Equipment Standard by using the BIM Viewer's filter and completing the Equipment Standard field.

Use this command if you have associated your equipment standards with BIM asset families. See Add or Edit Asset Families and Classifying Assets for Use with BIM (Concept) .

Note - Publish Changes

Publishing changes to an Autodesk Construction Cloud-hosted model is dependent on Autodesk  Platform Services priority of the update that was initialized. At times, when a user clicks the “Publish Changes” button they may get the message that the model has no changes, although they have updated assets in the model.  The reason for this message is that Autodesk servers have not yet prioritized these changes, which cannot be controlled by Archibus. In this case, users should wait and try again later, until they get a positive message that the changes have been published.
