NBS Chorus Plugin
NBS Chorus Plugin is a digital specification platform, allowing users to integrate their models with their specifications. It enables you to develop your model and specification at the same time.
Layout and Settings
The
NBS Chorus Plugin is divided into two panels.
The left panel shows the scanned elements (active and reference elements)
present in the design model with their properties, and the right panel consists
of three Tabs as follows
PROJECTS,
MASTERS, and
ORG NOTES from where you can create projects,
master folders and view organization-wide guidance notes. The splitter helps
the two panels to collapse on either side. For example,
Design Model Panel
The Design Model panel appears along the left side. It
lists the scanned elements (active and reference elements) present in the
design model with their properties such as
Element ID,

associated to an element.
