Special symbols in classification does not show up

[twosk]

Hi, I have structural model with assemblies that have special symbols in name.

In solibri newest version it does not show up

I believe it was fine in previous versions.

Is it something i can fix myself?

Hi,
With the update, special characters are not shown right, not only classification:

And you are right, it was ok before.

@bariscanpolat
Perhaps its connected to regional settings? Or is it ok in you computer?

[bariscanpolat]

I don’t know if it is about regional settings, because before the update it was ok

@twosk @bariscanpolat

Could you confirm which version of Solibri you are using and are they correct in some older Solibri version?

[Matti]

Also you can try these settings

It is most likely connected to regional settings. Before 9.13.4, Solibri used the System default encoding for reading strings in ifc files. This was now changed to UTF-8 by default, which can be changed from the Solibri settings (but the system settings are ignored).

You can try this:

You should probably try Windows-1257 (Baltic).

@Matti-Kannala Windows-1252 is not going to work, since it does not have the U with the bar on top. Windows-1257 may be the right encoding.

@Matti-Kannala thank you, I changed the settings to UTF-8 and it worked for me

[twosk]

@manuel-furia
it does not work with the newest version.
With an older version it works if I reupdate the file.
It works with the newest version and UTF-8 settings.
Thank you for your suggestion.

So, I’m guessing the strings in the file are encoded with UTF-8, but the IFC Import Setting uses the system’s encoding by default, not UTF-8 as I was expecting.
Since UTF-8 strings are much more common than other encodings, I will create a ticket to always default to UTF-8 instead of System’s default settings.

Solibri 9.13.5 has been released!

IFC import handles now special characters correctly.
UTF-8 is now the default encoding for IFC.
