What’s the status on those things 6 months later? Every after while I still hear someone scream in the office cause somebody accidentaly hit the wrong button …

Hello,
This is the question 🙂
Sorry if it wasn’t clear. Here above are the steps I am doing manually. The idea is trying to automate it so I just have to autorun my file to get the output.

I already try to automate it but for now I am still stuck. Here are my thoughts:

Easy to do ! I think it is impossible to link dynamically a classification in Solibri to an excel (you can only import it manually) so: Either we edit the file.Classification (which doesn’t look easy because with a text editor it is unreadable) Either we try to use a rule linked to an excel file to highlight the proper elements (I more or less manage to do so but then you have no option displaying both “classification” and their color) I didn’t try this one because I wasn’t able to get the wanted output for the previous step but they are few function to play with issues and presentation (still it looks hard to accomplish) Also easy with the autorun

I don’t know what exactly you want to do but if your classification is not meant to change, you can use the autorun to open the file you want apply the classification and get the output.

Kr,

@Nicola-Tessarolo Could you please share the ruleset. Thanks

As a BIM and PowerBI nerd, I would say that the best way to integrate large Revit/IFC models into PowerBI is through VIM AEC, the company I work for. We are looking forward to Solibri making their data available to PowerBI so that we can showcase an integration and release templates for users.

Check us out here at vimaec.com

@brinkman said in multiple values:

We work from a large externally managed list. We want to keep the link with the original list as intact as possible.

Keep the list as it is and use e.g. Power Query to transform into a new file as needed that can be linked?

thnx

@HieuVH

Seems legit.

I guess your property is defined by sth like

#12345=IFCPROPERTYSINGLEVALUE('YourPropertyName',$,IFCREAL(102.),$);

Your IfcUnits are probably mm but the specified lenght units in Solibri might be m in your first example with 3 digits shown?

Though I am not sure then why in your second example you suddenly have 5k mm with 6 decimals shown. But it would make sense that it is actually 5(.0) meters in your file (which might be a different one/having different units (m) assigned?)

So ‘Text’ is just sth. that acutally exists within Solibri. In fact the value specified in the IFC is derived via getPropertyValue () which brings me back to my first reply

You can define the unit measures and how they are shown within Solibri in your settings.

Here also an Example of an IfcReal

which shows “your values” when you willfully change the datatype in the column settings.

The same IfcReal as Double | Text | Lenght from left to the right …

There are several tutorials, what varies is which version of BFC they save it in. It is the same in the new BCF manager from Archicad, but the truth is that I always prefer to install the BCF Manager from BIMcollab, since the cloud is free and it can be linked to Solibri and Archicad from the server as well. All incidents saved and managed from a single database for that project.

@JSN I completely agree with that. The open dialog is a pain and seems to be from the time of Win95 or even Win3.11…

@Solibrians Is there any news? Is something like this planned?

Thanks. It is done; Issues from Solibri to Trimble Connect it is working… BUT… Issues from Trimble to Solibri did not working.
I am figuring out if this is a problem related to the File name/IFC name header or something else.

@JSN said in Don’t show specific Model:

Apart from that, this discussion reminds me of the once tested “Unloading” feature …
https://society.solibri.com/topic/1848/10-0-0-alpha-version-6-is-ready-for-testing?_=1709727786939
… I am wondering if this is still something which is considered to be in a final release in the near future.

I thought the same… I think preset view selections had also been discussed at some point.

@Solibrians: It is easy to use classifications or selection basket to filter the view, but it’s still a few clicks, more so when you need both. Particularly when using rulesets, this can get very repetitive and turns out to be quite the time waster.
This might be a feature request for an extension of both the filter functionality as well as the “classification as model colour” functionality…

This is now fixed in Solibri 9.13.8.

@JSN great points, thanks!

So we want reports templates to work with GUIDs, independently of the user’s settings, and have another export format than XLSX. Maybe XML or JSON or SQLlite or whatever, not idea about the best choice.

There is a serious bug. Sometimes even if I update view in BCF Live Connector then it still comes out wrong

Hello Matti

It is not the same sheet everytime. Additionally if I report the sheet again I get different result. I have also checked any white spaces prior and adjusted the name of the sheets and ITO name. Unfortunately till now I have not advanced nor have seen any positive results.

kind regards,
Ftaen Toma

@Alex-J thank you

Ok I tried and it works. Thanks! Normally we never use Solibri Classifications since we focus on getting our authoring cad program to do the job correctly.
