Batch append materials and styles from project library and making own library templates

1. J by Jumalvelho on 1 Dec 2024, edited 8 Mar 2025 #

   Hi,

   pretty new to BonsaiBIM, I managed to make a project with some materials defined and managed to get that project library to be used on other project. It has several materials that are commonly used to I'd like to take advantage of using those again. But I have to click one by one each material to append it to new project, is there a way to just append every material with one click?

   

   Also is it possible to make and save my own template with materials, profiles, styles etc. and load it when starting a new project? If it already exists, where is it located? I'm running Windows 10, Blender 4.3.0 through Steam and BonsaiBIM 0.8.1.

   Use the paperclip to add by query. Enter "IfcMaterial", and Bob's your uncle.

   Okay, thanks!

   Is there a way to make a project template library files, I can select from the drop down menu "IFC4 Demo Template", but how do I make my own?

   I'm also really interested on using my own template, with materials, styles and types etc.
