Trace back LCA data to the BIM or other imported data

This feature is only relevant to those who have imported data through BIM integration or direct file upload (Excel / gbXML).

This feature allows you to trace back any original assumptions and information which was linked to the data point in your BIM model or uploaded file. This can assist you with making a more informed material choice either during the mapping process or while on the building material query later during your assessment.

How do you use this feature?

You will be able to trace back the LCA data at three stages of your LCA assessment. If you click on the green paper icon, it will display all the information regarding the selected data-point. This can include information on merged materials, comments, and any other information which you have exported with the materials. 

• The first place is during the Import Process at the 'Review' stage.
• The second place is during the Import Process at the 'Mapping' stage.

• And the third and last place is on the building material query.
