What is the building structure?

The building structure provides a customizable, flexible way of structuring, organizing and using documents (=drawing files) in Allplan (think of the Building Information Model). You can use the building structure to logically structure a building using several hierarchical levels.

Analyses, such as sections, views and reports, can be derived directly from the building structure.

Allplan comes with several predefined building structures.

The plane model is directly associated with the building structure.

The building structure consists of a number of hierarchically structured levels; drawing files are assigned to the individual levels. You can then assign a pair of default reference planes to each structural level. All the drawing files belonging to a structural level can use the default planes assigned to this structural level. Consequently, the associated drawing files update automatically to reflect any changes you make to the height settings of a structural level.
