What it is: If your project uses BIM, you can now pull asset data straight from your 3D model files (like .rvt and .ifc) into the Asset Register, which is also now generally available. A new BIM view in the Assets tool lets you pick a processed model, search it by property to find the objects you want, map them to your standard Asset Types, and import them in bulk. Each imported asset stays linked to its source model object, so you can click an asset and zoom right to it in the built-in 3D viewer. This is integration is available as GA in the UK and Ireland (UKI) region only. Who it's for: Main contractors and owner-operators in the UK and Ireland working under ISO 19650 and the Building Safety Act information requirements, along with the BIM and quality managers responsible for delivering structured, verifiable asset data.
Why it matters: Teams working in BIM had no way to get model objects into their Asset Register without recreating each one by hand, which can be slow and easy to get wrong, leaving no connection between an asset record and the model object it came from. Now, you can extract assets directly from the model, keep a clean and centralized register, and link between each asset and its source object across the project lifecycle. Less manual entry and a register you can trust.
How to get started: First, upload a 3D model through Document Management or the Documents tool and let it fully process. Then open the Assets tool at the project level, switch to the BIM view (or choose Import from BIM), select your model, and follow the extraction steps.
