When receiving a new architect model, it is possible to control any object that has been connected to an architect component.
Check whether it has been moved or deleted.
Export:
Exports an HTML with all changes and deleted objects. Enables the possibilities to search for each object with the help of “Selection by ID” and create reports.
Tag Symbols:
Tags each component with the words “Deleted” / “Modified” on the parameter Comments. This enables the user to quickly use View Filters (There is a View Template included in the BFT Template) to find which objects have been moved or deleted.
Delete Symbols:
Automatically will delete all symbols that have lost their connection with the architect component.
Update Walls:
will automatically update all modified fire compartmentation for walls.

On the bottom, there is a list of all deleted and modified components and which floors. So it’s easy to go to the correct levels and update.
Wall type changes:
List all wall types that have been changed. This is used to keep track if the linked model has changed a component when a design is already set and approved.
Wall height changes:
List all walls whose height has changed, which might not affect the floor plans.
Workflow – Tag symbols:
After tagging the updated and modified symbols with Audit Trail. With the help of the matrix at the bottom of the Audit trail dialogue box open those specific levels to find those components.
