General Discussion

Antialising is on.
I unchecked the third option , the one that relates to GPU and CPU, in french “Utiliser l’élimination accélérée du matériel”, and it’s better now. I guess it means that CPU is now in charge as far as I understand. I would’ve expected to have better results with GPU on.

Thank you very much!

okay, I’ll send via email.

now that in 9.12 this feature has been added - or changed, here is my thought on it:
I can here agree with:
@Pia “disconnecting and orphaning the issues is a serious problem”
@paola-bronzo “frustrating…some of our customers to lose all the checking results”

but I have to admit I have never experienced such a thing, mainly because I use “check Selected” when I am testing and setting up rules and not with a final check - something that @Mauro-Cattaneo and @agroni mentioned.

now that this option is here, I will adapt the workflow to the current possibilities and probably just filter the results.

We would love to see more support/improvements for Smartboards. We have a conference room next to our office with 2 big Smartboards. It is used a lot for BIM meetings, more than we could have imagined. Added Solibri support for these boards will helps us getting more interaction with people. Instead of 1 person srolling through Solibri, you could then collaborate with more people.

On an other note, I think that Solibri should do something with touch screen support in general. When I am outside on the construction site, I can’t use Solibri. I have to use apps like Dalux which are strong in touch screen support and are able to make files pretty lightweight/optimized for handheld devices like phones and tablets. I don’t want to take my laptop outside, it’s clumsy having a big expensive laptop in your hands when you need to walk across the stairs etc.

Bringing Solibri to touch screen devices will help us in bringing BIM to the construction sites. That is something we are looking at for our colleagues who work at the construction sites. It could also help in having ‘one single source of truth’, since we then aren’t forced to use more then 1 program.

On a marketinglevel, I think there is a big market for an app like that.

The Solibri-provided libraries are inside C:\Program Files\Solibri\SOLIBRI\lib
Reinstalling could have removed some extra JAR from the installation and fixed the issue. The extra JAR was most likely the custom rule package JAR that had been copied there for use.

The IFC schema provides a way to describe building elements that frequently occur within a project (like beams with
a certain profile, etc.) more efficiently by reusable types. Such a “template” of an element is defined as Type and can then be instantiated and adapted accordingly. As a result, only the different data needs to be adapted for the actual component , for example, the spatial location of the object or its relationship to a neighboring building element, while the other basic parameters remain unchanged. You can find more information about this here: https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/DEV/IFC4_2/FINAL/HTML/schema/templates/object-typing.htm

In Solibri, the IFC Type Attribute indicates if a component is derived from such a type object. You can find more details if you also check the relations, which also store this information:

The IFC Type attribute:

The “Defined by Type” relation shows detailed information about this type:

When you double-click on the relationship, you will see the information of the actual type object, which is an instance of an IfcDuctSegmentType:

Hello @tomoki,

Thanks for the report. This has been reported by other users as well, and a fix is currently underway to be included in 9.12.1.

For the time being, it seems that this is related to sorting issues by status or modification date. Sorting the issues list by number may help in some cases.

Kind regards,

Toni on behalf of the Solibri team

Hello again!

For any users who may be experiencing issues connecting via the BIMcollab new connection, please see this post for more information.

Kind regards,
Toni on behalf of the Solibri team

Great news! Thanks for the feedback!

@Jonna-Lehto

In the picture the rule is giving an issue about doors/windows not having a relation to a wall, not to a floor.

The relation between doors/windows and walls is through a opening component. Please check if there are openings exported and if the opening has a relation to the wall and door/window.

Best regards,
Lauri

I throw in another example with the new Graphisoft BIM Cloud as previously already suggested would it be great to save and load .smc directly there but also as @Daan wrote would the possibility of loading IFC files directly from a such a service provider might be a very good idea to streamline the workflow.

Today comes Solibri new version with “Application level scaling for high resolution screens”. Who knows how its works?

No need to delete.

I think you are using the exclude in the wrong way.
Try to exclude like this and all the assemblies will be gone.

750d1fe0-8f95-472a-97d0-c91af7b14a36-image.png

Do not use the decompose as a column in your ITO.

Another suggestion is using classifications to exclude assemblies and to make a first logical demarcation between elements. And then making different ITO’s using this demarcation.

Hey!

Yes, I’ve got a big .smc with big ifc:s included.
Still interested?

How logging in works:

User inputs username and password Solibri sends these to the server Server responds with an access token Solibri takes the access token, uses it to actually start and such. If “remember me” was chosen, access token is kept on disk

So, Solibri never remembers the username and password, and we don’t really want to remember those.
Now, access token is kept on disk and is used on subsequent starts if it is still valid. It should stay valid for 30 days. After that Solibri notices that it is no longer valid and requires username and password to get a fresh token.

Why 30 days? The length is totally arbitrary, but 30 days is quite common default in many web services. It could be a year. Maybe 30 days is such that still after 30 days you would remember the password without writing it down, after a year you might not. And 30 days is still long enough that you don’t need to input it too often.

Why is it sometimes shorter than 30 days? The access token is kept on disk and if you remove your C:\Users\user.name\.solibri folder, it is gone. One other way to retrigger the password prompt is to tick of “remember me” in Solibri settings. There are other cases when services usually invalidate existing access tokens. One in particular is password change. You can try this in email or social media services, changing your password via desktop browser most likely logs you out in your mobile devices. So with Solibri too it might happen that sometimes the access token isn’t valid for the whole duration.

As for the specific case where someone has had to input their password and username too early, it is difficult to say why without exact dates and times.

Addition:
Like browsers do it, by remembering credentials when access token has expired. I don’t think anything really prevents us from making Solibri remember the username and password and automatically putting them to the fields. But if we had that, we would need to have a way of clearing them easily, and as the browser used in the login screen is not a full browser, there is no way to go to settings and clear them.
I think personally I would prefer keeping the access token refreshed continuously so the login screen wouldn’t ever popup if you didn’t log out intentionally.

@Matti-Kannala Hey Matti, thanks for the reply - looking forward to the next release! Best M
