Every element in the IMPACT 3D Model has a unique identifier (Element id). When you are exporting and importing to other sites or fabrication systems it's very imortant to preserve the ids.
If you delete an element in the model and insert a new, the new element will automatically get a new id and the link to the fabrication is lost. Please use the commands Edit, Replace and Save As when it's appropriate.
First I will show how to locate the Element ids.
In 'Settings Plan' you can turn on the id in the model tags.
Then it will look like this.
It is possible to modify the layout of the tags (element mark blocks) in your company standard.
In Project Manager (PM) you will find the element id in the Expand or Planning view in the model.
