00:10Assalamu Alaikum, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:16I hope you are all doing well and my best wishes to you all.
00:20May Allah protect you from harm and good wherever you are.
00:24It's good that your lecture is very important in that sense.
00:30That means you can import as much data as you want into Nebishwerk.
00:36It's fine with Revit or Civil 3D or any other similar source software.
00:44From whatever meets all the requirements, then the data within it
00:51It comes with data inside it, okay, and the data
00:55The data you see is not necessarily the same data you want.
00:58For the sake of the sake of the sake, like I have selected this document, okay?
01:02Look here at what you have. If I go to the item, the icon here.
01:09What is internal mechanical material? What is its name? Okay, all its information.
01:13What is IDate? It is the element ID basically inside the Rivet when you
01:19When you are doing conflict resolution, there is a lot of information that
01:26The Properties tab has been greatly enhanced by the AutoDictionary feature.
01:31Within the Thousand Twenty Sixes, you too have many properties that are coming your way.
01:41As you can see, our focus today will be that if we
01:48If you want to add any data from your own to any element, click on it.
01:53We will edit from the tech, so let's go to our foundation and the foundation
01:58Before I leave, I would like to request you, the user, to subscribe to my channel.
02:03Go to and subscribe to it and also comment.
02:07Please share and like it, let's go.
02:13Towards our foundation and in the foundation we have that view properties
02:18What is end-adding data? View properties. Weight attributes. What is read?
02:23It is added that the export from Revit is the same as the one you used here, no matter what you did with Revit.
02:31Or did you just say "DDDDD" or "DDD
02:36This question here
02:37There are many things that arise in your mind, and this thought must have come to your mind:
02:43DDB is an AutoCAD file.
02:45DDDDD Serbian is not an AutoCAD file.
02:48Civil 3D file is
02:50Seoul 3D is money
02:51The beam is clear.
02:53So all the beams are clear.
02:55With them
02:56Their elements contain data.
02:58Hence, The Dabvi here
03:00It is kept.
03:01etc.
03:02So Geometry ID
03:03Geometry ID
03:05No matter how much he tells you, Mattel will tell you the number of meters.
03:10All your definitions are there to tell you what's inside the blue pig.
03:14You have gone inside the Gave Properties tape and the properties are fine.
03:20You checked what is inside the step by going inside the workspace.
03:23How to use click any element in the modal and selection
03:28You can go inside the tree selection tree and modal and select any
03:31Track the element you have, check it is OK and property.
03:35Go to the step and also go to the property step and identify yourself.
03:38You can check everything in the datashare dimension that the search bar contains.
03:42Filter property names using the search bar to find your property.
03:47You can search for whatever you want, you can find it.
03:51Use QEdit Find Element Data Verify
03:57Where did the source model come from?
04:00You can edit it, okay, because the data you have here is
04:03It's coming to you inside the edit, you're here, edit.
04:07I can't, but I will definitely tell you this today.
04:10How do you customize data? How do you customize data?
04:13She can add you a new one, Adentita.
04:20Cannot change source model.
04:25So you add the user property, so what do we do then?
04:29We are using the property so that the custom data is what it is.
04:32What is inside them, Davy F or Davy Davy Davy File, inside us?
04:36Can be stored, we can define it within it, okay?
04:40Right-click on the Properties tab.
04:44If the add-on properties are correct, then they will be available to you.
04:48You can click on any element of any prop.
04:51So all the data inside your proptest tape will come to you.
04:54How to use the Meanwell method to select an element
04:58Right click OK LCO node and click on item tap
05:04So you're getting props, you'll get set cat grace, okay?
05:08You can select the cat gray, which cat gray do you want, okay?
05:11What is the status of the video? Okay.
05:15Saves add devo data stick to element guy ok
05:19If you walk a little further, you will see inside it.
05:22How to use bulk method if more comes in bulk
05:25So how can I see you in Toz? Let's go to Data Toz.
05:29Attach lake excel csv to modal use item and g
05:34Dave I the S's Attache Hundt Off Road L Bamboo is OK
05:38Suppose you have created a data entry in Excel.
05:43So you can also attach it with the element of Go.
05:46Can be connected
05:47Users can add things like date, date, status, comment, etc.
05:53You can add a photo link.
05:56Use for site Rocky Cliche has many things that you can add.
06:01Okay, I'll go ahead and tell you inside Nevis.
06:04So let's go, towards Nevis.
06:08And going to Navis, we see how the data is added.
06:13First of all, I will tell you to look here.
06:16I have a model open in which the mechanical model is hidden.
06:21Okay, done.
06:22I hid all the rest and only opened the mechanical one.
06:27Okay.
06:31Look here, whatever you have, your Jio ID also comes to you here, okay?
06:36Is
06:36Is it a Hadin or not? Is it a Hadin? That's right. Icon Complete Object Internal Type is right.
06:42So all the information, your information, would be coming inside the item of every thing.
06:46Rect indo tut is mechanical.r bit file came from which soz file was inside it
06:52He is telling you everything.
06:54Element Idea will be telling you that the element is OK, and then look at the information.
06:59How much is CE Apna? Okay.
07:01After that, how much is the idea, the port elevation category, okay, so you have a lot of information here.
07:07It comes up, okay, so that you know what the information is for the element.
07:12Okay.
07:14And you can also use this information as support later. Okay, so here's when you go.
07:20I won't go here, but in the options, you can go somewhere, in the options, next to you, down to you.
07:30There is a file reader. Okay, you go inside the file reader. Okay, then go here.
07:35Okay, you took it in reboot, so what data do you want to export in reboot? Okay.
07:40Is
07:40Cord Dank Rabbit Fails Okay, so all the data is these things you have to keep in mind.
07:45Should be checked when you want to export what you have. Okay.
07:50So look here, I've also opened the Nek duct, okay, let's take this duct.
07:54Here you have data, okay, what is the item car data, that's yours.
07:58Has been
07:59And the data is coming to you, if you created one of these types of rivets.
08:14What is the data that is coming from Revit?
08:17Different data is coming to you, it's coming here, okay?
08:20But what I will do here is attach some data and tell you what it is.
08:25How can you add more extended data? How is that?
08:30If you put something inside, your client says:
08:36No, brother, we have this ticket, please, is it this part or this one?
08:41The house is in front of the house, is there any data that we need to change?
08:45We have to change the data we have, we need additional data here.
08:50This means that we need additional data, so how can we get that additional data?
08:55You can change the tick, so the first thing you need to do is
08:58Select your elements here and from here you have the name of the property.
09:03Go to the properties, your display tab is coming here.
09:18I'm trying to change it on the net, see above.
09:33You have added a new Tita Taib, okay, here it is, yes.
09:38It's a new aunt's job, okay, now it's inside, so it's empty.
09:43Okay, now I'll go back for it. What's up again?
09:48Come on, we have a new partner, Jangi Hasni, we need to collect new data, new data, this is it.
09:52To reduce the inside of the Teta here is to breathe inside it, which means that
09:56It's coming to you, you can also try, you have also been taxed.
10:01So there are a lot of things you can do that are followed by boolean
10:07Yes, you can do two views, then the float is coming.
10:13There is a value that is being indexed. Your point is coming now.
10:19If it is coming in quints, you can give it in quints and then an integer.
10:23If it were an integer, you would have to enter it without a point, so we
10:27You will see the whole video how we used to stay on the internet, that is, specially.
10:31Those who become programmers know things by doing this, but I
10:34I told you in very simple terms, okay, so here it is.
10:38First of all, we take the stitches first, okay, and in the stitches
10:42We go and say, "Let whoever is here do the work." We say, "Here, let him do the work."
10:46The prize is on the table, it's okay to be on the table, it's okay to be on the table, we say.
10:49What is the difference between a penny and a cent? Okay, okay, or two hundred, okay, two hundred.
10:59US dollars are fine because there is a sting so we can do something.
11:04To swear for, to pass from me to him, now to him, now.
11:15It is right to do it, but it will not be done by the people who are patiently waiting for them.
11:25Here's a drink for you. You can drink it after that.
11:28You can do that too, now one view is done, you watch the other view.
11:32You have arrived at Belen in New Providence. Okay, Belen is in Belen.
11:37What am I saying, is it the fault of Abagnaium, or is it the fault of Creole or of Iron?
11:41It's made here, its coated, its shell is plated, its rim is plated, that's right.
11:46So we call it what it is coated with, okay, coated.
11:55We have to tell you further, look here, if you uncheck it, it will
12:03It will be fine, check it and put a tick next to it.
12:08If you give it out, it will be yours. Okay, so from this we know that this
12:12Coated, this is silver coated, okay, then we'll move on.
12:16Okay, then in the Asset New Property we have a float value.
12:19Okay, this is the data that Exter adds to anything.
12:24What is being done besides the data he got from Reiger or
12:28It was there for that, okay, so here we saw it, here it came.
12:33Here we say that we gave the price mentioned for what is right.
12:38It is and we say its fine, we said it is fine to see.
12:46Okay, so this is our fix, okay, now let's do something.
12:55Okay because we told it to be a float value.
12:58Also, the plot means that if we press on our fix, it is
13:02It's 5.5 mm, okay, so watch the videos here, I can also enter the point, okay.
13:09So I have permission here.
13:11I can go inside the float video and enter 5.5, okay, now it has a
13:18The video will be yours.
13:19Go here and there will be an integer here. Okay, in the integer, you only have one of yours.
13:24Can you give the whole video?
13:26You are doing a float, what is the level of float?
13:32Level firm float is fine
13:36Level firm float okay so I'll go here and say this
13:42The level of the firm float is OK.
13:45If you give the level, then what happened is this, I add the data inside it.
13:58Both of these were from within or within the data, but
14:04I have provided a new data for the data that is there, okay, inside which
14:08All these things are what they are and it may be that all these things are as many pelmets as possible.
14:13I have edited all the videos I have edited, all these requirements.
14:17If it's okay with any client, then I'll go inside it like this.
14:21So it's not like I'm the only one inside your Grail.
14:26I can only edit data, but whatever data is there is fine.
14:33Now you see here that I added data inside the grid.
14:36So you can add us here inside the duct as well, okay, please.
14:41This is someone you know, it looks like a motorcycle
14:46If you want to edit the data, you can also go inside it and edit the data that is there.
14:49Can
14:51Well, apart from that, neither you nor I have to say that architecture is a duty.
14:55The wall is selected, okay, look here, there is a select button, what is the gear selected here?
14:59So look here, there's a lot of data on it.
15:07Apart from this, if you want to add any more data into it, then go ahead.
15:13Father, this
15:14Okay, go here and type in the add user data here. Okay, here's your
15:20Pass
15:20Look at this, look at this, the user data will come to you and then you go here in the same way.
15:26Assert dav probity and then set sting palin float integer to all of them on valy
15:31Whatever data you want to add inside it, all the data that goes inside it.
15:36You can edit. Okay, so this was today's exercise, which was a bicycle, the purpose of which was this.
15:42I also wanted to tell you what you need to know about customizing data types or extras.
15:48How can your extender data be given to any element?
15:52Who or what can add data to any element?
15:58Keep what was Autocad, if you go back twenty years from today, you'll be fifteen years behind.
16:04If you leave, whatever is inside it would be there for you to use in any way.
16:09The line or any circle has extension data or user data or
16:15There is customized data, you could go inside it and edit it, okay, but what's the point of that?
16:20We used to have to increase the size of the entity a little and then make it a field.
16:25I had to tell them that just like here, I was doing field cycling.
16:29Instruct New Property, there is a setting, all the bids are fields, okay, so this
16:33Like inside it, we had to tell the fields again, whether it was two, three, four fields.
16:37How many fields did you fill in and what data is inside it?
16:42Then you could go and edit inside it and this could be it.
16:46The concept is that Autodesk has used BIM.
16:52It's okay to share, maybe it's just like that, I'll definitely share.
16:56It doesn't say that work should be done in the same way, but the concept can be the same.
17:00So that they can use this concept to achieve what BIM is all about.
17:05They designed the concept well and obviously the AutoCAD file
17:10May it be D
17:15You can say that they use the same file for procs.
17:36If you look at the normal generality, the AutoCAD files are BIM files.
17:42Files are not the complete BIM, its philosophy or its
17:48It's a state, it's not completely above it.
17:52Those are the files that are downloaded, yes, Civil 3D is definitely downloaded and AVT is definitely downloaded.
17:57And in addition to that, there are all the other solutions that are specifically designed for the beam.
18:04Whatever properties they have are theirs.
18:08So if that data can come to you, you will keep your choice and the other one will be as much as mine.
18:15There are videos, definitely share them with others so that others can understand. May Allah protect Islam.
18:21May Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you.
