It also allows to check progress stages and any deviations to the project&#8217;s timetable to ensure proper management and correspondance with the set goals.<\/p>\n<p>In particular. let&#8217;s take a look at how we can assign materials and properties to objects taken from the BIM Library or from other projects, and how to align architectural elements in 3D view using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/3d-building-design-software\"><strong>Edificius<\/strong><\/a> BIM software developed by ACCA.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aligning-objects-with-a-bim-software\">Aligning objects with a BIM software<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Let&#8217;s start off by aligning the architectural elements in 3D view.
