Open Settings
The "Open Settings" command in BIMO Add-in for Revit allows users to manage settings for various commands through a centralized graphical user interface (GUI). This command simplifies the configuration process, enabling easy toggling of options, creation of presets, and access to advanced settings.
Although the settings can still be edited manually in JSON format, the new interface provides a more user-friendly approach to configuration and now supports preset management for enhanced flexibility.
