General Discussion

Hi @Matti
i would prefer to have control of what the window does in the background. If I understand you correctly you want an option to turn On or Off this option.
I find this window quite helpful when updating IFCs, where far located objects are reported. It would be appreciated if solibri could define this threshold of what is actually allowed in a certain boundary. It would be a numerical value that sets the limits for horizontal and vertical distances.
In my case I would write 650m horizontal. The first object sitting in 651m would be a report, otherwise everything is OK.

Hi @Daniel-D
I have checked the geometry for both the cable carrier and the column. In my opinion it is correct.
Strangely solibri detects other clashes of the same column with other electrical components and vice versa of the cable carrier with other architectural components. But the two together do not have a clash.

Hi Pinuer check that your spaces are showing in 3d if your doing the IFC export with the all visible elements option

allright thanks for the help you guys 🙂

I’m not that firm in coding so I think I’d have to ask someone to make it work. looks like there is some different workaround methods we can use. I just found it strange that this was not a standard function

thanks again 👌

great to hear @tonigyllenberg
thank you

I encountered this issue only when the wall composite contained building materials with transparent surface materials that were included in the IFC export. In my case, these were air gaps within the exterior wall structure.

When I disabled these building materials from being included in the IFC export, the transparency issue was resolved.

However, this caused another problem: in some roof structures modeled with slabs, where the same air gap building material was used in the composite, the slab edge surface was lost. Instead, all the individual layers of the composite became visible separately including the air gap which made the result look very messy.

To solve this, I created a separate building material for facades where the air gap is not included in the IFC export, and another one for the roof where it is. With this setup, I was able to get the model to look sufficiently clear in Solibri.

EDIT: I use Archicad with Finnish localization so my apologies if I haven’t used the right terms for everything. I don’t know precisely what they are in English.

Hej, I am interested in this topic. I have a custom BCF Server running. I would like to connect it to Solibri. How does that work?

I think I’ve found the answer.
Ever since I added myself to the Emloyees group, I can see the extensions.
i asked some colleagues to see if they have acces as wel

I have to write this workflow down, because it might be useful to others or might be entirely wrong and someone will show me better, … anyway, here it is:

create a SOL 1 rule parsing for duplicates:
c6c82593-54f6-4e7f-91bd-82123b25c69a-image.png

make sure that all dups are rejected, but the first one:
9afa8e15-677a-4875-879c-7e111597c42e-image.png

select all items (click on “=”) to make a starting selection basket, including the dups. In this particular case it was these 3 Models:
b0bf17eb-1a6c-4b67-8a00-ac8a3cd2996e-image.png

run the SOL 1 rule, then right-click it and select all rejected:
3f34454f-5140-4044-add0-0c2afb3f145d-image.png

open the “Checked components” view, select all lines and click on “-” to remove them from the selection basket.

Now you have a selection of everything, excluding the dups. It is advisable to save this selection by name in the Selection Basket:
4bf4389b-0a27-4629-815c-0806409be120-image.png

Now you can filter by selection basket the results of your rules:

@YasmineD in that case please send a message to [email protected], and make sure to include the log files for further investigation.

That is years old version. Update to a newer version. The latest is Solibri 25.12.0.

Try rule #233

Check which GPU you are using. File->Help Application information page.

If your laptop is having alternative card, try using that.

The problem is probably that there are too many characters in the text (title or description—or both). I often encounter synchronization errors when too many elements are affected, as this usually results in the text/description being too long. Apparently, the maximum number of characters in BIMcollab is lower than in Solibri. In my opinion, this should be adjusted or reduced to prevent synchronization errors.
