# Create bimCAT View

The first thing you need to do to use Building Information Model Climate Action Tool (bimCAT) with the new Revit project after signing in is to create a **special bimCAT view**. Later it will be used for all the operations performed by BIM Climate Action Tool (bimCAT).

After successfully signing in, go to **Web Analysis > Create bimCAT view**

After the view is created, BIM Climate Action Tool (bimCAT) will automatically make it active and open the **Manage Scope** window where you could configure what’s exported. More on it is in the [Manage Scope](/user-manual/usage/tallycat-beta/manage-scope.md) section.

You won’t see this command in the **Web Analysis** drop-down menu if a view with the name **bimCAT** already exists in the project.

Please note, that **you cannot rename the bimCAT view**. If you attempt to do so, Revit won’t allow it and an error will be displayed. After clicking **Cancel** the view will revert to its original name.

Deleting the **bimCAT view** is permitted, but you’ll need to confirm this action first.

After the **bimCAT view** is created, the **Web Analysis** drop-down menu will change displaying additional commands.

If you click **Export to Web**, **Manage Scope** or **Export to JSON**, but the BIM Climate Action Tool (bimCAT) won’t be able to find the dedicated **bimCAT view** for some reason, the following warning will pop up.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://979736188-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnnfiqwqMJpMWTZIHDlMz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-dafe209d8a64c368741358d156d0f5f78cdac86e%2Fimage%20(116).png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If you choose Yes, BIM Climate Action Tool (bimCAT) will automatically create the **bimCAT view** and open the **Manage Scope** window.

Otherwise, the warning will close and the bimCAT drop-down menu will revert to the initial state.
