@Tornado23 said in Sync issues between Solibri/ACC:
Hi everyone,
We have tested issues pushpins placement in Forma coordination space where IFCs have different length units, milimeters and meters, and it works only with IFCs in milimeters. For non-milimeters IFCs pushpins are located far away.
Every IFC has unit definitions inside, so when creating federated models it does not matter whether some are in meters and some in mili or centimeters, since most IFC viewers, including Autodesk Viewer and Solibri, handle this correctly and displaying models that fit into each other.
However, I found that “Solibri’s internal unit of length is millimetres, regardless of user-defined settings”:

We have carried out tests: for IFCs in meters we have exported milimeters versions and then pushpins for issues created on them in Solibri worked fine in Forma.
It is now clear that Solibri to Forma issue placement is internally based on milimeters and question is: could it be fixed to take into consideration unit definition inside each IFC @tonigyllenberg?
I do not see BIM teams forcing everyone to work internally and export IFCs in milimeters, only for correct issue placement. Every discipline could have specific settings and needs e.g. railway in meters, steel structures in milimeters, concrete structures in centimeters etc.
Hello!
This is a valid point, we’ll test and look into this more in the coming weeks with our AutoDesk contacts as well.
