Shared utilities on ARC/STR
Some shared commands appear on ARC/STR rather than GEN. This page follows their reviewed command identities; ribbon location alone does not establish a separate version. These entries are source-reviewed, with runtime application and result captures still pending.
Text Replace
Open BimSpeed.ARC → Utilities → Text Replace. Choose Search Scope, All Items / Selected Items, enter Find and Replace, then Search. Review ID, Old Text, New Text in the results before Replace Checked writes changes.
On a model copy, search a unique string, inspect the preview, apply, locate the same ID and Undo. Case sensitivity, repeated matches and multiline text require separate cases. Search itself is not a write.
Align to Grid
This differs from edge alignment/distribution. Preselect target elements, then run Align to Grid. The controller uses global X/Y-parallel Grids and the selection; an empty selection produces a warning. Source includes LocationPoint, straight-beam and wall branches; arbitrary rotated/curved elements are not established.
The controller may unpin elements, move them to axes and adjust wall length. Record coordinates, length and Pinned state, check all three afterward and Undo. Start with one simple host on a copy. Runtime displacement and pin restoration remain unverified.
Naming Type Checker
Review proposed rows and mark Update only where intended. Accepting the dialog starts Update Type; closing/cancelling is separate. Type changes may affect multiple instances, so inspect Type Properties and representative instances after applying.
Complete installed controls, detection rules, rename behavior and update results remain unverified. The word “Checker” does not establish read-only behavior.
Load Family Online
This modeless library differs from bundled Load Families & Types. Open it where available in the loaded edition, find a family and check version/category before download/load. Download, load and upload are separate operations; a visible library does not prove project loading.
After loading, locate the family/type in Browser, place an instance on a copy and verify dimensions, units and host. Service availability, licensing, download/load and English UI remain unverified. No new library capture or output family is offered here.
Shared dimensions
Use the existing Grid Dimension guide and settings. Level Dimension has its canonical guide under Architecture. Dim Annotation, Dim Offset, Merge Dimension and Parameters to Excel are separate commands; evidence for Grid/Level Dimension does not establish their behavior.
Common dialog footer
Dialogs using the BIMSpeed / Feedback / YouTube footer share these actions:
| Button | Result |
|---|---|
| BIMSpeed logo — Open BimSpeed website | Opens the BIMSpeed website in a browser |
| Conversation icon — Feedback | Opens the configured Zalo feedback/support link, which may show the service's sign-in page. Opening the link does not automatically send feedback |
| YouTube — Tutorial video | Opens the command-specific video when configured, otherwise the BIMSpeed channel |
These are external help links, separate from Apply/Run/Save, and do not create RVT output. UI captures show the buttons; this supplement did not sign in or send content through them.
