Inception enables you to create BIM stories from the following panels:
• Running Order — while working with a running order in the Running Order panel you can add a new BIM story directly to the open running order.
• Story Browser — when you do not want to immediately add a new BIM story to a running order, you can create your new BIM story from your Story Browser panel. You can add your BIM story to a running order at any time.
• Story Editor — while editing a story in the Story Editor panel, you can use the content of the current story to create a new BIM story. When you create a BIM story from a story, Inception creates a story family that includes the original story and the new BIM story. All new stories that you create from a story inherit the Slug and content of the original story.
• Assignment — while working on an assignment in the Assignment Editor panel, you can create new BIM story for the assignment. When you create a story from an assignment, Inception automatically makes the Slug for new stories the same as the assignment Slug. Changing the Slug of a new story does not change the assignment Slug.
