Switching between different 3D models

If you open more than one Asta Powerproject 4D project at the same time, you can use the Select IFC Model control in the Model group on the 4D tab of the Ribbon to switch between the 3D models or IFC group models that relate to the different projects that are open: the 3D model display is not updated automatically if you switch from one open project to another.

The Select IFC Model control displays a dropdown list of the 3D models and IFC group models that relate to the projects that are open. 3D models are indicated using a IFC model graphic; IFC group models are indicated using a IFC group model graphic.

To switch between 3D models and IFC group models:

  1. On the 4D tab, in the Model group, click Select IFC Model. A dropdown list of all 3D models and IFC group models that relate to the currently-open projects appears.
  2. Click the 3D model or IFC group model that you want to display. If it is not already visible, the IFC Model pane appears, displaying a 3D view of the selected 3D model or IFC group model; if a different 3D model was displayed in the pane before, that 3D model is closed automatically before the newly-selected 3D model or IFC group model appears.
