Merge BCF viewpoints

  • Merge
  • BCF
  • Import

To merge BCF viewpoints, open your project, choose Import from Project or Import from File → Viewpoints, select projects or files, review the preview of what will be added, and click Import viewpoints — the new viewpoints land on the matching issues.

Sometimes the same issues end up with different viewpoints in different tools — captured in parallel, so no single file has them all. Bimlyte smart-merges viewpoints onto your issues from another project or from a BCF file, matching issues automatically so nothing is duplicated.

Steps

Import into all issues

When another Bimlyte project or file has the same issues with different viewpoints.

  1. Open the import menu

    In the sidebar, click the active project's name to open its menu, then choose Import from Project / File → Viewpoints.

  2. Choose the source, check the preview, and import

    In the dialog, pick the projects or files to pull viewpoints from. Bimlyte matches issues across the selected sources and previews what will happen: the matched issues, and how many viewpoints will be added or skipped — a viewpoint the issue already has is skipped rather than duplicated. Click Import viewpoints.

  3. Review the viewpoints

    The merged viewpoints appear on the matching issues. Always make sure that no data is missing.

Import to selected issues only

When you want to merge into specific issues, not the whole project.

  1. Select issues on the Issues page

    Go to the Issues page. Right-click a single issue → Import from File / Project → Viewpoints, or tick the issues you want — the checkbox in the top-left of a card, or the left column in table view.

  2. Open the import menu

    For multiple issues, open Actions → Import from File / Project → Viewpoints in the toolbar.

  3. Choose the source and import

    In the dialog, pick the projects or files to pull viewpoints from. Review the preview of what will be added — just as above — and click Import viewpoints.

This is a smart merge — Bimlyte matches issues between the sources and brings the viewpoints together without duplicating them. A viewpoint an issue already has is skipped, so importing the same source twice changes nothing. Everything happens in your browser; a BCF file you import from is never uploaded. Comments merge the same way.
