linking in permits and other construction documents?

Hi,

we are currently in the process of migrating our plans to digital submission. mainly I work in OpenRoads but we have permit applications such as for environmental impacts and i was wondering if theres a way to link these to the model. yes i know we can use the insert object to create a clickable linked image but im wondering if theres something like a documents folder that can "hold" all the required permits?

  • Hi Dustin : If you consider the Connect project as your iTwin then yes is more than possible.  ie the documents can be held in Share (we do have some users building in other links to dashboards etc ... so any URL is possible) ... then with Design Review as long as the link is associated with the element, the URL is navigable (users often use Items to add the URL links)
    If you review the iTwin platform, then there are many options available, such as embedding documents into the iModel or enabling an embedded viewer or a pop-up panel etc.

  • yes/no/probably ahh the joys of starting new things. so yeah we can and probably will be using issues to link our permits but after some more reading we may also be adding a custom tool button thats some kind of pages/folder icon. add in a navigation tree for permits; design standards; special provisions. and based on this looks like i need to relearn JS. thanks for pointing me in this direction our cross platform training is non-existent at the moment.
