Just starting with Solibri, got some Q's about ITO's

Jeff HBO

Is it possible to see if and element is in more than one ITO?
How do I differentiate between specifying and search to add when I filter components in the information ITO definition?
Is it possible to select multiple components and directly add them to the ITO?
Is it possible to find matches between info of elements to know which things to select in your info ITO definition filter?
Is there a way to see components in the info ITO definition filter?

Here are some answers and further questions:

At the moment this is quite clumsy. At the top of the ITO you have the ´+´, ´-´, and ´=´ buttons that can be used to set components to a selection basket. After you’ve run an ITO, you can select all the rows in the table and press the = button to put the components to the selection basket. Then you can pick the component you’re interested in, for example, in the 3D and press the ´-´ button in the Info view. If the number of components in the selection basket (you see the Selected text at the bottom of the Solibri window) decreases, then the component is in the ITO in question.

Can you elaborate this?

You can use either the Takeoff All or Takeoff Selected method to run the ITO. The latter does the Takeoff only for the components that are in the Selection Basket at the moment.

You can specify which components are considered in the ITO in the filter that you can find when you press the “Edit Information Takeoff Definition” button (the cogwheel) in the toolbar.

Above the filter you again have the buttons to add/remove/set components to the selection basket. With those, you can see which components the filter affects to. Unfortunately, those buttons seem to be disabled at times.
