Hi, new in Bricscad, trying to migrate.

Is there any possibility to use BIM section including text?

    Hello.

    BIM section entities work only with 3D entities.
    2D and text entities are not included in the result of a BIM section.

    The alternative would be to create an additional standard viewport in a layout of the model drawing and include that layout in the sheet set of the project.

    Another alternative, although more complex, would be to place the text inside a block.
    The block can be laid on any layer, layer 0 for instance.

    However, in order for this to work, two conditions are required:

    • Inside the block definition, the text should be placed on layer BRX_2D+_Swing.
    • Besides the text, the block should include a polyline entity, also placed on layer BRX_2D+_Swing.

    Why does the block need to include a polyline? Maybe this is why I've gotten inconsistent results with using BIM_2D and BRX_2D layers?

    Hello.

    The approach I mentioned is not a specification - it is not the intended way of working.
    It is just something that works in this particular case.
