BONSAI INTERFACE OVERVIEW
The Bonsai interface is organized into three main areas, each with a specific function. These areas work together seamlessly to provide a complete environment for the design, editing, and management of IFC models.
Zone 1: IFC Entity Tree (Left Panel) The IFC Entity Tree displays a hierarchical list of all the IFC entities in your model. From this panel, you can explore and select any part of the model to edit. If you cannot find an element in the model, use the search function to locate it quickly.
Zone 2: 3D Geometry Visualization (Central Area) The IFC model is displayed in 3D in this area, allowing you to manipulate and analyze it. You can rotate, zoom, and select elements to inspect them from different perspectives. Using keyboard shortcuts, such as holding Shift to rotate faster, helps improve navigation within the model.
Zona 3: Non-Graphical Data of the 3D Model (Right Panel) This panel provides access to the non-graphical information of the model to ensure proper documentation. The information is organized into tabs that group various essential data sets related to the model. Below is an overview of each tab:
The Project Overview tab provides general project information in a centralized view, reducing the need for multiple tools. It serves as a reference point for understanding the overall context of the IFC model.
- View general project information (Project Info), including the project name, author, and other key details that help maintain a well-organized and documented model.
