BIM Add-In Manager Tasks Overview

The following features provide out-of-the-box configurations of Archibus applications. However, add-in managers at all sites can also uses these features to extend the base Archibus to suit their particular needs.

Table Description
Archibus Assets Type Table
(afm_atypes) 		Connect any type of Revit element to an Archibus Asset Type, and enable BIM Managers to extend the mappings from a dialog right inside of Revit
Archibus BIM Categories Table
(afm_bim_categories) 		Review the built-in Revit categories and their built-in identifiers. Archibus uses this information to deterministically identify Revit categories.
Archibus BIM Families Table
(afm_bim_families) 		Matches groups of Revit elements and families to Archibus table. Map the same type of Revit element to different Archibus asset types based on criteria such as the Revit Family and Type. Doing so lets you break out assets for lifecycle management in a manner different than Revit breaks them out for design.
Archibus BIM Parameters Table
(afm_bim_params) 		Add or remove mappings between Revit parameters and Archibus fields. Whenever you use the Number, Data Edit, Data Edit Multiple, Read Database Values, or Reconcile command on a Revit element, Archibus will add the parameters to that element and synchronize them according to the rules appropriate to each element.
