Hello!

I believe the Hyperlink tab within element info is actually for Hyperlinks setup through Solibri. There is some guidance at the page below:

https://www.solibri.com/learn/working-with-hyperlinks-in-the-solibri-model-checker

It seems to be a functionality split between the values contained in the ifc file, and those setup through Solibri. It would be useful for them to be automatically picked up.

If you just need to present the links from an Excel, custom info will be enough to automate that. Those will be presented as text however, not clickable links. The text can be copy-pasted though.

If you want hyperlinks specifically, you can use the Javascript API to do that (https://society.solibri.com/topic/620/javascript-api-documentation-solibri-version-9-10-8/2) Reading Excel files is a bit more difficult in Javascript though, so that might become a barrier. Using Javascript is also less stable, as we don’t focus in testing its compatibility between as much as we do for the Java API.

If you implement the URL reading from the Excel in Java custom information, it is possible that in some future that info can be used in a hyperlink template as output, making it possible to have the url as a hyperlink instead of just text.

I think solving this is easiest if you are able to send the model via support or directly to [email protected]. Otherwise it is a bit of guesswork only.

Hm, many questions… 🙂
This doen’t happen every time, but at least yesterday and some weeks ago.
The presentations and issues are created in Solibri (now Build 9.10.8.34, but happened before) on W10.
The affected presentations are sometimes uploaded to a BIMcollab server, but iirc not all of them. They are never “down”-synchronized from server to SMC file, but there is another “BIMcollab presentation”, which is sometimes synchonized.
I notice the lost pics after opening the SMC file and (maybe later) switching to communication view. It doesn’t happen while working with Solibri.
I’m quite sure than not all presentations have been affected, the newer ones were broken, the older were OK.
The SMC file is now about 800MB.
Preview size is set to “S”.

Feel free to ask for further details!

good morning Matti,

I am so happy that I got a respons 🙂

I will send my models and the models of one of the co workers with the same problems to Solibri.

thank you

kind regards,
Daniel

@Pasi-Paasiala said in Visualization Flickers when Model is Georeferenced:

You shouldn’t put the geo referencing coordinates to the transformations. Instead you should provide latitude and longitude to the site and the have the coordinates in relation to them. Big coordinates may create such flickering also in other software than Solibri.

So true, but unfortunately project origin and export settings are still a reocurring problem in 2020. This should actually be fundamental knowledge, but it definitely is not.

Hi,
This would be good for civil projects and setouts…

Hello Samb,

Please try to restore default layout set from File -> Settings -> Layouts.

Best Regards,

Hi @Samb ! It solves the problem.
I recorded a video to talk about this and some other tips in Solibri but it was recorded in Portuguese - Brazil.
Even though it might help:

@Simo_Z said in Visualization opening:

@JeroenKoomen thank you for the message. I tried what you suggested but I still have the same problem: the openings still not visible.

Thank @JeroenKoomen!!! I tried also this system and it’s working quite well.
It’s a petty that the Color Map Editor doesn’t work for the opening!

Thanks

It’s a bit hard for me to understand how this should work …

You want to search and filter all elements and check if they have e.g. the property “GrossArea”
Ok, that’s one thing and this can be achieved by filtering either in the model tab or via ITO.

But then you want to have a list which tells not the value of this property, but to which PropertySet it belongs?
Well, normally you have a clear logic and it should always be the same property set, however if you were not writing in your previous statement that something got mixed up, I would suggest you to rethink your workflow.

So, if I understood you correctly, what you basically want is an ITO table with :

Column 1: Component Name | C2: Property e.g. “GrossArea” | C3: PropertySetName which helds Property of C2

Afaik you can only search with filters for components and there is no such function in Solibri where you can make such queries, but maybe there is a way when you spin your head around a bit … so now either it’s possible for you to go a step back and get your desired information directly from the mapping tables where you have exported the ifc or you do some research which tools are providing what you want to do.

can you please elaborate what you goal is with the GUIDs.
From experience I know that there Codes are just machine readable and won’t always be there for the classification. If a new element gets created in your BIM authoring tool, it receives a new GUIDs which will be missing in your classification list in Solibri.
Just was wondering how do you inted to implement it, and the benefits are 🙂

Thanks for the tip.
I have an older laptop lying around with a lower resolution. I can test if the same problem will occur there.

@Matti-Kannala

That’s it!
I have noticed the tiny intersection.

I hope that the bug will be fixed in next update.
Thank you for your support!

Best regards,

@BartBol @Harmen-Jorritsma

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Using the operator ‘Contains’ with value ‘CON’ doens’t fix the problem.

Angle and slope would be very useful to have as dimension/markup tools.

@Paul-Deckers @André-Schnabel Can you take a look at this?
