Use Smart Properties to add links to 
your IFC models
   
Wouldn't it be great to link elements from your model directly to the official IFC documentation? Or create a reference to your project's IDM or BEP documents? Don’t look further; these ideas are another great approach to using ZOOM’s Smart Properties.

Map your model’s properties and assign them new values as links to your online documents or websites. Open these links directly from ZOOM by right-clicking them in the context menu and always have your documentation at hand.
TIP: Take at look at other good ideas of where to implement the Smart Properties in our BIMcollab Helpcenter.

Struggling with model coordinates in Revit? Check out our new BCF Manager
Aligning multiple models has always been a challenging task. Now imagine how tough it could be using models with 3 different origins :( We have a way to help you. Since a few months, our Revit BCF Manager includes the options of “Survey Point” and “Project Base Point” for coordinate base origin.
Now, in the latest version (6.3.7), we've taken a step further by reintroducing support of “Shared Coordinates”, offering Revit users up to three different methods to coordinate models! Update now and check which option best suits your project.
TIP: Still have some doubts? check our article about how to use Revit models for coordination.
