Hide 2D symbol for object

For some objects, such as doors, BIM Explorer displays icons. You can choose for each individual object whether these icons should be displayed in the building model or not. By default, the icons are displayed.

Comparison of two doors in floor plan: one labeled "Door without 2D symbol", the other "Door with 2D symbol" showing swing arc

Example: A door is permanently locked and is not used as a door. Therefore, the door’s opening area does not need to be kept clear; for example, a cabinet can be placed there. Disable the display of the 2D symbol for this door.

Prerequisite

Procedure in the FM Portal
