General Discussion

Hello,
Thank you, @Matti-Kannala Matti Kannala, for your reply.
I have performed tests with SOL 223, SOL 224 and SOL 234.

You wrote:
“Note: This does not test the horizontal difference (the opening is too wide compared to the provision for nullity).”
That’s why I focused on the SOL 223 provision.
But maybe there is a reason why you suggested rule 234.

And thank you very much, @simon-gilbert. I’ll take a look at your suggestion as well, because I’m not sure I can get by an extension.

So now to my findings.
I noticed that it shouldn’t matter how far the geometry of the IfcOpeningElement sticks out,
because the rule only sees the volume that has been cut out of the element (e.g. wall, slab).
So far so good, which means that the rules SOL 223, SOL 224 and SOL 234 should be sufficient to check the
openings against the geometries of the IfcBuildingElementsProxy.PROVISIONFORVOID class supplied by MEP.

BUT,
Somehow the SOL 223 rule does not seem to work properly.
The screenshots I provided show that despite the presence of a PROVISIONFORVOID,
is not linked to the corresponding opening. I am sure I have not made a mistake in the classification.
Does anyone know anything about the limitations of this rule?

I will try SOL 234 now and keep you posted.
I also share my .smc File.
Thanks for reading my message.

Best wishes,

@Claudia-0 One possibility is that you export the issues from Solibri in BCF-XML format and dig the info you need from there.

Hi,
yes, Solibri needs Rosetta on non-intel Mac. We use native libraries for rendering and other features, and those are provided as x86 binaries.

Cant remember exactly what the message was but the message was like check the file in row 52. Since my models contain around 130 different IFC files, I could not tell which file this was right away. You can probably find the file since its marked red, but why reference to a number when it`s not there.

A way to sort all the red (missing) files on top, or/and sort the IFC files by name would make working in the update files folder a little easier.

Just a suggestion.

@twosk I’ve created an issue regarding this.

I agree. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi @jakub-rusin

That worked! Thank you so much for your help 🙂

@vigneshraj Please use rule 230 (Property Rule Template with Component Filters). It should give you what you want.

Please try this report:

There is a similar solution I just posted for clash using a Property Reference Parameter in the UI: https://society.solibri.com/topic/2529/compairing-certian-parameter-of-clashed-components/5

You can use the same idea using a component distance check based on max distance visualization example, but modifying it to minimum distance in the code:
https://solibri.github.io/Developer-Platform/latest/distanceVisualizationExample.html

The DistanceVisualizationExample above is included in the rule examples on github: https://github.com/Solibri/api-examples

Great, thanks very much.
I must have mist that one.

This should be possible with IDS. We are building support for IDS in Solibri, but since the standard has not been released yet, we haven’t released the functionality. Related discussion here.

I opened a ticket about this.

Thanks!!!

Hi Paul, Solibri academic program launched with the basic stage end of July 2023, so it is a good place for beginners to start training with Solibri, a lot of free self-learning content, together with Tips & Tricks documents that teaches smart workflows in Solibri usage. We are going to launch the next advanced stage in Jan 2024 which is intended to onboard trainers for advanced usage of Solibri besides classroom & workshops for subscribing universities and their students. Is it worth it? you need to try it to find out! if you are a new user and want to learn the right way to use Solibri from the start then you will find yourself in the right place to learn. As a student, you can ask your university/professor who obtained Solibri academic licensing packages - NFRs (free) and/or subscription - to send a list with your name and your colleagues to the Solibri partner in your country where your university obtained the academic licenses from, we resume the registration once we get the list of student(s) name(s) from our partner. Hope to see you onboard!

Best Regards
Wafa

Solibri 9.13.5 has been released!

IFC import handles now special characters correctly.
UTF-8 is now the default encoding for IFC.

Hi not sure if I understood your question properly but

I think you should establish a comprehensive BIM Execution Plan (BEP) that outlines all the necessary requirements for project participants to follow. Here’s an example of some key inclusions:

Shared Object Family for Coordinates:

It’s advisable to include a requirement for setting up a shared object family that represents the coordinate location. This shared object family should be consistently used by all disciplines. When the models are imported into Solibri or any other BIM software, this shared coordinate family will make it easier to verify that all models are correctly positioned according to the project’s coordinates. Ensuring this consistency can save significant time and prevent coordination errors.

Naming Conventions for Floors and Levels:

Specify a standardized naming convention for floors and levels. For instance, using “Level 0,” “Level 1,” and so on. This consistency simplifies communication and ensures everyone understands the hierarchy of the building components.

IFC Export Requirements:

Define clear guidelines for exporting models in the IFC format. This should include requirements for naming conventions and property sets. For example:

Specify that models must include IFC naming and value conventions. This ensures that exported IFC files contain accurate and standardized information.

Emphasize the importance of assigning the correct property sets for IFC elements such as IFCsite, IFCbuilding, IFCwall, and others. This ensures that the BIM data complies with industry standards and is structured correctly for downstream use.

Highlight the need to provide specific information in property sets, such as fire ratings for walls (e.g., 30min/60min/120min), wall type (Internal/External), and load-bearing status. This information is crucial for accurate analysis and validation, especially in software like Solibri.

There’s obviously more but by including these requirements in the BEP, you set clear expectations for all project participants, ensuring consistency, data accuracy, and efficient collaboration. This proactive approach helps prevent issues that can arise from inconsistent data and incomplete model information. It ultimately contributes to the successful execution of the BIM project.
