Site border check

twosk

I have a model that represents site (green). I have as well a model that represents legal site border(red). Red model are just walls. Site model has many elements.
I’d like to know where site does not comply the legal border. There are two cases - border overlaps (1) and border does not reach (2) legal border.

Which rule would your recommend for such check? Thanks.

I think the easiest way would be if your red legal border area would be an actual object as a void and not just bounding walls. Then you could check if this void contains everything else, with no protrusions are allowed, but depending on the amount of elements this could hit performance significantely …

Great idea, however, We use this model as well for visual proposes and your CDE wouldn’t be happy with super big volume with everything inside.
I was wondering if there was a way to take all elements and get precise floor plan bounding box. I was experimenting with element distances for IFCsite, but IFCsite it not an element according to solibri $:\$

Out of the box, I would say there is currently no simpler way to achieve what you need.

We use this model as well for visual proposes and your CDE wouldn’t be happy with super big volume with everything inside.

I am not fan of manual reworking but the site won’t change I guess, so it might pay off to create the model once. No clue what CDE you are using but imho I would simply not add such a reference file to the federated model there … or make it (semi) transparent to have visual feedback for all as well?

In any case, I understand how to check if the site modeled beyond the legal border as one big volume (if anything is outside the volume it’s a problem/issue).
But how do you check If the modelled side does not reach legal border (2 number in the picture)? The site model itself contains a lot of separate 3d surfaces that together makes a site model

Maybe you can use teh rule SOL232/1.1
https://help.solibri.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500004610841-232-Manual-Checking-Rule
You can set the borders in the ruleset.

based on your initial sketch I would have said #234 is getting you close but taking your additional information into consideration your use case might be more complex.
