11. A method comprising:
generating, by one or more processing circuits, a plurality of mappings between a plurality of points of a building automation system (BAS) network of a building for a plurality of pieces of building equipment and a plurality of graphic representations of the plurality of pieces of building equipment of a building information model (BIM), wherein the plurality of mappings map a point of the plurality of points of a piece of building equipment of the plurality of pieces of building equipment with a graphic representation of the piece of building equipment of the plurality of graphic representations;
causing, by the one or more processing circuits, a user device to display an interface comprising:
a graphic element comprising point names of the plurality of points mapped to the plurality of pieces of building equipment, wherein the graphic element comprises a hierarchical representation of the building, the hierarchical representation comprising a plurality of levels, wherein:
a first level of the plurality of levels includes an indication of a floor of the building;
a second level that depends from the first level includes an indication of the piece of building equipment, wherein the second level depending from the first level indicates that the piece of building equipment is located on the floor; and
a third level depending from the second level including an indication of the point, wherein the third level depending from the second level indicates that the piece of building equipment includes the point; and
a view of the BIM including at least one of the plurality of graphic representations of the plurality of pieces of building equipment;
receiving, by the one or more processing circuits, via the graphic element, a selection of the point of the plurality of points, the point mapped to the graphic representation of the piece of building equipment; and
modifying, by the one or more processing circuits, based on the plurality of mappings and the selection, the view of the BIM to display the graphic representation of the piece of building equipment mapped to the point.
