Hi @Matthew-Lohden

Below is an article that was updated for version 9.12.7 on coordination report templates that includes a detailed list of the keywords:

@mathieu-farine Okay i understand. Interesting way to check the BIM modellers work 😀

Thank you very much @chris!

This is what I am looking for.
I tried it in many different situations and it is working.

I wish you a great day

@ricardo Great!

Hi @czoog

I setup a similar check, and it doesn’t appear that the checkbox T/F value set is actually being used in the rule.

This rule is actually an API example, and looking at the code, the checkbox in the UI EffectiveCoverageAreaRuleUIDefinition sets a rpPropagateToConnectedSpaces variable in the EffectiveCoverageAreaRule.java, but this variable isn’t used in any of the other .java sources.

https://github.com/Solibri/api-examples/blob/master/rule-examples/src/main/java/com/solibri/smc/api/examples/effectivecoveragearearule/EffectiveCoverageAreaRuleUIDefinition.java

This rule was developed to check for ventilation coverage within rooms (travel distance occuluded)

You use I assume would be for travel distance between rooms and would travel between rooms through doors?

If you would like, you can send an email to [email protected] and I’ll pick it up to send to our R&D.

Best regards

Removed tick in the box “Remember me” then closed Solibri. Was promted to log-in, then…TADAA

I would call this a bug…?

Boug-bounty? 🙏

Using it would be faster if it was in a single rule filter in addition to the normal filters, because there you likely do some other filtering as well. So for example for door rule you would only have to check if it is in the selection basket for all the doors, not for all the components.

Of course it is cumbersome to add the property to all subrules, maybe it is not suitable for your case either.

One alternative is to have a custom rule. A custom rule that returns an issue for all components in the selection basket, or all components not in the basket. Then this rule can be used as the gatekeeper rule.

Hi @naveedzargar ,

I’ve shared one example how to check this in this thread, you could test if that would give you correct results: https://society.solibri.com/topic/289/gatekeeper-check/

This should be able to be set in the “Coordinate Base” setting of the IFC Export Setup in the later versions of Revit. In the earlier versions, the IFC export was always set to survey point (shared coordinates).

If things aren’t lining up, you may need to publish or acquire coordinates in your project.

You also are able to move a model in Solibri by right-clicking it in the Model Tree and clicking Move or Rotate Models: https://help.solibri.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500006891481-Moving-and-Rotating-Models

@sander-eikelboom said in Free space in front of components can be halved?:

Maby it will help you to find the decompossed elements?

In my model there are curtain walls. I surch for window components that had decomposed forwards curtain walls.

Mybe this will help.

Curtain walls:

windows with decomposed forward curtain walls.

Hi Sander,

I have tried to recreate this situation by creating a curtain wall with a custom window in it (frame and glass panel), and using your settings for the ruleset.
If I understand correctly from your post, by using this decomposes rule, the check should be able to differentiate between the window frame and the window panel, being able to only search for the window panel , for example?

To be fair, I do not yet understand what the result should be by using this decompose rule there. Could you please maybe post the “Results” information and the “Relations” information here?

I have made a few pictures of what I have made, the results however dont seem to differentiate between the individual parts of the window, rather still the window as an entire element:

Thank you for your help with this

@lauri-luoma Thank you!! Can i set this as an accepted soution or anything?

@Matti Kannala

Thanks for the answer, but it didn’t work.

Best Regards
Simone

thanks for the awesome information.

@lauri-luoma Thank you, yes, I make a lot of use of classifications, and also the duct dimensions from component properties (still, this may not always be available, and I’ve come across some unit problems even there).

However, being a heavy user of classifications in many aspects, I find building a classification for something so simple as Bounding Box dimensions overkill. The classifications also all require some processing time at model update, which gets multiplied when the HVAC models are split into separate IFCs per storey. The above rule itself processes this very quickly, when set up correctly, and only at the moment necessary for running the checking, which seems optimal…

But perhaps disabling classifications, or loading them automatically on demand, is something you are thinking about for future releases (I can of course manually unload/load these at the time of checking, but that again is unnecessary steps in the workflow).

Yeah okay thanks. I actually use the comparison function at least once a day and this feature would save me a lot of time . This time saving would allow me to look at more projects each week so having this as an improvement would really increase my efficiency. Would love to see it incorporated soon! - cheers

Hi. This is possible at least via the Java API: https://society.solibri.com/topic/563/information-api

We actually even have it implemented with the API in our examples: https://github.com/Solibri/api-examples/blob/master/info-examples/src/main/java/com/solibri/smc/api/examples/HasFailedChecking.java

Being such a common question, it might make sense to add it to the normal properties I guess.
