@JSN

Thanks for clarifying the state of affairs, I would really recommend the link-functionallity (not via hyperlink-Manager or hyperlink-templates) so that every file or hyperlink works as a given value anywhere in a IFC-File (IFCLABEL).

Another question is it possible to make Custom Hierarchy based on issue location?

The cross symbol means that there error in the checking code.
Look the specific issue with that symbol in the rule.
There is an error report. Send that to solibri support.

@Lauri-Luoma

I’ve also realized that there is an issue if the links contain special symbols like brackets as depicted below …

For the record - this link is indeed valid as the filenames indeed contain those brackets but Solibri (and other IFC Viewer) solely allow this link to be clickable if I would (manually) encode those brackets. See below …

So I am curious if there is a loophole in the URL processing mechanism. How does Solibri detect hyperlinks and can this be adressed so that all links are working or is this an issue outside of Solibri’s scope?

@Matti-Kannala

Out of curiosity and a related issue here I wanted to enquiry about the limitations of presentations. We have a model which is rather huge in terms of file size and issues but on a powerful machine with lots of memory it’s basically running smoothly.

However the performance bottleneck seems to be sorting slides within and between presentations. Currently there are a bunch of presentations (for each building story) and in total about 3k slides. The project went trough a number of Solibri versions as it is up and running since a couple of years. Meaning that the ongoing slide index is also a 5 digit number.

Sorting slides (with just a few components attached) causes performance lags and constant freezing while everything else seems to be fine. What could cause this behaviour?

a) the history and legacy - meaning that the file has been around since a while b) the amount of slides / high index - which is indeed high but technically should not that high - or is there a critical number? c) the model and file size which seems to be no problem for all other tasks but might be an issue when it comes to data access of slide data? d) a known issue within Solibri regarding this functionality? e) probably all of the above mentioned points?

Hi @Zdeněk, nice to meet you here

Afaik, there is no integrated solution.

It might be worth a try with a rule report and some post-treatment. You should get an Excel with 1 row per issue and the issue description contains the intersection volume in the text.

Or maybe someone scripted something that works directly in Solibri…

The geometric representation is defined by your exporting application. The difference is explained e.g. here:

One issue you may notice within Solibri can be related to material representations …

@jakub-rusin,
Have you a update about this bug?
In our workflow we gonna use this more often. The work around takes extra time and a beginner in Solibri is hard to explain.

Does increasing RAM also improve the performance of loading or updating models?

there is a picture showing IfcSpace “Bad 4c”, where the depicted Geometry and BasQ (Area: 1,75x2,10=3,675m²) are the same, but the SOlibri Values are off.

Are you suggesting that the Solibri Values are correct and newer, while the Geometry&BaseQ are not correct because there were not updated in the Authoring Tool?

Same here

@Matti-Kannala
thank you! That´s pretty helpful

Solibri 9.13.5 has been released!

Fixed an issue where Classification Rules dialog box was showing rulesets in model chooser.

@ragm2

Afaik you can’t create new ones. You only have access to existing ones.

@rbuts seems like the connection to SSC and when you log in to Solibri is down at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback. We should really fix this 😄
