Another object that's worth knowing about in Blender and is used quite a bit
2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:13,240
are called empties. You can find those under here. Empties are basically empty.
3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:20,200
They don't have any geometry but they're a way to hold various data or
4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,060
information in the model. It's used in Blender in a number of ways you can
5
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:32,180
use to drive certain objects to move together and in animations as well which
6
00:00:32,180 --> 00:00:39,500
I won't get into but they're very useful when we get into Bonsai to carry
7
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:48,739
information such as they assign it to an IFC building or IFC site or an IFC
8
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:55,340
aggregate. You can assign various P sets or properties to it or
9
00:00:55,340 --> 00:01:01,820
quantity sets. I can just give you a little sneak peek into Blender or
10
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:09,420
Bonsai rather and you can see here the empties are used for you know IFC site
11
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:15,460
and IFC building. Over here you can see the various information or data
12
00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:22,139
attached to that such as the name or description of the story the various P
13
00:01:22,139 --> 00:01:28,500
sets that are connected to that and also the quantity sets the quantity take off
14
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:36,339
as well and for like assemblies same thing you can just attach different data
15
00:01:36,339 --> 00:01:43,580
to them so they are quite handy once we get into Bonsai.
