Twisted Space Naming

Question:
Why is Solibri twisting the Name and Longname of Spaces (see attachment).
Can it be fixed with new release. Most of our clients is expecting the Name on Name and not on Number.

Solibri read for Name the IFC " Longname" and for Number IFC “Name”. It should be the same as in BIMcollab Zoom or other applications.

Hi @Juun-Steen-0,
I can understand your confusion but in my opinion Solibri follows the recommendation of buildingSMART when interpreting these attributes.
https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/ifcspace.htm

At least my intrepetation would be from it:
Name = Unique room number
LongName = Room name, which does not have to be unique.

I would therefore not change anything in the mapping.

Best regards,
Philipp

In some way I disagree

Every Entity in IFC 2x3,TC1 has prescripted the Name on 3th position. That is what Solibri is reading as well, only not for spaces. There the IFC Name wil be defined in a property
“Number”. So a new property for Name is introduced as “Number”. In some way it is not consistent.

Strange enough the IFC script is doing what I’m asking (So the export is correct). Putting the Name on the right position. Only Solibri Interpretation is different and not aligned with most of the software like BIMcollab Zoom and other IFC readers.
