Workflow for modeling
-
Hi Everyone
what are the predefined properties and steps for preparing of model so as to be completely ready for reading in Solibri.For example if I want to tell Revit professional to design the project based on following steps and standards so as to be easily imported, readed and analysed in Solibri.
And also it doesnt need modifying in revit and export it again and again.
thanks -

Please look at the following Blog from Bond Bryan Digital, there are 7 parts to this which guide you completely showing you examples and explaining everything you need to know.
Part 1 is below to start.

Hi not sure if I understood your question properly but
I think you should establish a comprehensive BIM Execution Plan (BEP) that outlines all the necessary requirements for project participants to follow. Here’s an example of some key inclusions:
- Shared Object Family for Coordinates:
It’s advisable to include a requirement for setting up a shared object family that represents the coordinate location. This shared object family should be consistently used by all disciplines. When the models are imported into Solibri or any other BIM software, this shared coordinate family will make it easier to verify that all models are correctly positioned according to the project’s coordinates. Ensuring this consistency can save significant time and prevent coordination errors.
- Naming Conventions for Floors and Levels:
Specify a standardized naming convention for floors and levels. For instance, using “Level 0,” “Level 1,” and so on. This consistency simplifies communication and ensures everyone understands the hierarchy of the building components.
- IFC Export Requirements:
Define clear guidelines for exporting models in the IFC format. This should include requirements for naming conventions and property sets. For example:
Specify that models must include IFC naming and value conventions. This ensures that exported IFC files contain accurate and standardized information.
Emphasize the importance of assigning the correct property sets for IFC elements such as IFCsite, IFCbuilding, IFCwall, and others. This ensures that the BIM data complies with industry standards and is structured correctly for downstream use.
Highlight the need to provide specific information in property sets, such as fire ratings for walls (e.g., 30min/60min/120min), wall type (Internal/External), and load-bearing status. This information is crucial for accurate analysis and validation, especially in software like Solibri.
There’s obviously more but by including these requirements in the BEP, you set clear expectations for all project participants, ensuring consistency, data accuracy, and efficient collaboration. This proactive approach helps prevent issues that can arise from inconsistent data and incomplete model information. It ultimately contributes to the successful execution of the BIM project.
