I ran into something while checking the georeferencing of a project and wanted to ask before assuming it’s a misunderstanding on our end.

First the context:
https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD1/HTML/schema/ifcmeasureresource/lexical/ifccompoundplaneanglemeasure.htm
IfcCompoundPlaneAngleMeasure (used for IfcSite.RefLatitude/RefLongitude) has 4 values - degrees, minutes, seconds, and a fourth value for the millionth-seconds of arc, which should always be divided by 1,000,000.

Example:

IFCSITE(...,(48,7,30,493000),(14,53,0,34000),274.86,...)

I expected: 493000/1,000,000 = 0.493″, 34000/1,000,000 = 0.034″ so 48° 07′ 30.493″ N | 14° 53′ 00.034″ E

But Solibri’s native display shows: 48°7’30.493000" | 14°53’0.34000" - the latitude is correct, but the longitude is off by a factor of 10 (0.34 instead of 0.034).

Is there some rounding/formatting logic on your side that could explain this, or does this look like a bug?

One (good) thing noted: I tested by pulling the raw values using the API directly, and it already returns the full, correct raw value (LON -> deg=14 min=53 sec=0 micro=34000) exactly as in the native file. So the issue seems to probaly sit in the display/formatting step, not the data access.

Maybe I am a bit confused already by all the numbers and transformations but is this an issue?

EDIT: It looks like this only happens when the fourth value is below 1000.

Thanks for feedback.

Dear Society Members,

First of all, we want to thank you again for attending our event and demonstrating how powerful sharing can be.
What a tremendous experience it was to see so much interaction and interest in learning new ways and improving workflows; we are most grateful for what you individually and collectively brought in!
Also, some due apologies for posting this so late 😓 It’s been extremely busy for me, sorry. I hope I can turn this into positive feedback as I have certainly created a lot of anticipation 😉
Well, with no further ado, we have collected below the most of materials shared during the event.
There’s a lot to read through so it is divided into 3 sections available when scrolling below:

Customer presentations

B.Y.O.B. sessions

Videos and other materials

We’re looking forward hearing more of your comments and suggestions to make our next event an even more rewarding and unforgettable experience.
It shall happen roughly a year from now, with hopefully an equally exciting location and an extended agenda with dedicated streams over 2 full days in order to maximise the outcome of each session.
We will initiate some polls related to this in the near future so we can agree with you on the overall direction…

Thank you again for your dedication and participation in this vibrant community!

See you all soon 🙂
Eric on behalf of the Solibri Team

P.S: Feel free to add more materials in case anything is missing, thanks!
