The top bar shows you create and open options together with a drop-down menu where you can activate different views, reach project settings such as revisions and users, and view and edit the source code of the project.
New Project: This button opens the view for the new project screen where you can create new OpenBrIM projects.
Open Project: This button is used to open the view for the 'Open Project' screen, where you can access already-created projects or projects that have been shared with you.
Click on the GIF below to see the new project and open project menu in action.
Import: No user interface will guide you through the process. Instead, you will only see the file selection menu from your local machine. Please keep in mind that the following file formats are supported for import.
You can select files with a .xml extension to import digital terrain or alignment from a Land XML file.
You can select LARSA 4D(.lar), CSI Sap2000(.s2k), and Midas(.mct) files to import.
Export: Use this option to export your project data to different file formats. When you click on it, a new pop-up menu will be displayed as shown below.
Share: You can obtain the project link and share it with other users. This is analogous to copying and pasting the link from your web browser's address bar. Consequently, you won't be granting the user write access to your project, nor will the project appear on their 'Open Project' screen.
Check OpenBrIM Library For Updates: Users can utilize this button to check the version status of the template objects and determine if there are any updated objects in the library. If a user encounters a message indicating that they are not up to date, they can easily update the library object by clicking "confirm”.
This update has the potential to alter the behavior of the library objects, including 3D, FEM, and Spec Check output. It might introduce additional inputs or modify the meaning of existing inputs. Therefore, it is advisable not to update the template if the project has already been submitted to the agency and the user does not intend to use the new features. Please follow library object release notes in your Slack channel if you are an enterprise customer, and consult with OpenBrIM support before this operation.
If your template is up to date, you will see the following message.
Click on the GIF below to observe how updating library objects in your projects alters the object inputs.
Add to Verification Profile: Users have the option to include submitted projects in the verification profile, which will automatically execute with every OpenBrIM release or after updating the library objects in the template. Before using this command, users are required to choose the project values (such as node displacements, D/C ratios, etc.) that need to be checked.
Please refer to this page to learn more about the process of automated testing for projects added to the verification profile.
Only the bottom side of the menu is displayed when the Graphics View Left Side Bar is active. The content is the same for the ease of use.
