# Changing to BIM Edition
|
|
|
|
An existing OpenProject on-premises (self hosted) installation can easily be switched to the BIM Edition.
|
|
The BIM Edition extends the capabilities of a normal OpenProject installation with special features
|
|
for the construction industry.
|
|
|
|
Switching to the BIM Edition will not affect your existing data. Your team will be able to continue
|
|
working just as before. By switching to the BIM edition additional features will become available
|
|
when you activate the "BCF" module a project's settings.
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
### Backup and upgrade
|
|
|
|
First, backup your data and update your installation to the latest OpenProject version as described in [Upgrading](../operation/upgrading).
|
|
|
|
### Switching to BIM Edition
|
|
|
|
Now that your OpenProject instance is up to date, you can _reconfigure_ it
|
|
to be a BIM Edition.
|
|
|
|
On the command line of your server run the following command. It will open a wizard that
|
|
guides you through through the most important installation settings of your instance.
|
|
On the first screen it will ask you to select the edition. Please select _bim_ and click _next_.
|
|
You can keep the screens that follow just as they are. You don't need to change any setting.
|
|
Your current settings will be preselected for you. You can simply click "next" in every step
|
|
until the end of the wizard. Finally, this will also
|
|
trigger the installation of the necessary libraries and tools for 3D model conversion.
|
|
|
|
`sudo openproject reconfigure`
|
|
|
|
Congratulations, you've successfully switched to the BIM Edition. However, for the best
|
|
experience you might consider also the next configuration.
|
|
|
|
You can check that all tools for the IFC model conversion were installed by going to
|
|
_-> Administration -> Information_ and check that _IFC conversion pipeline available_
|
|
has a check icon (✓) to the right.
|
|
|
|
### Activating the BCF module per default for every new project (optional)
|
|
|
|
You can enable the BCF module per default for all new projects in the future.
|
|
|
|
Go to _-> Administration -> System settings -> Projects_ and within the section
|
|
_Settings for new projects_ activate the checkbox for _BCF_.
|
|
|
|
### Add typical work package types and statuses for BCF management (optional)
|
|
|
|
For BCF management process you might want to add special work package types to your
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
In freshly created OpenProject BIM instances those types are already present. However,
|
|
as you have just switched from a normal OpenProject installation you will need to create
|
|
those work package types by hand. Please find detailed instructions on how to add work
|
|
package types in [Manage Work Package Types](../../system-admin-guide/manage-work-packages/work-package-types/).
|
|
|
|
You might consider adding the following typical work package types:
|
|
|
|
- Issue (color `indigo-7`)
|
|
- Clash (color `red-8`)
|
|
- Remark (color `GREEN (DARK)`)
|
|
- Request (color `cyan-7`)
|
|
|
|
We recommend that each type has the following status options:
|
|
|
|
- New (color `blue-6`)
|
|
- In progress (color `orange-6`)
|
|
- Resolved (color `'green-3`)
|
|
- Closed (color `'gray-3`)
|
|
|
|
### Activating the "OpenProject BIM" theme (optional)
|
|
|
|
OpenProject installations with a valid Enterprise Edition token can switch to the BIM
|
|
theme.
|
|
|
|
Go to _-> Administration -> Design_ and from the _Themes_ drop down menu chose _OpenProject BIM_. |
