Does component name change after reopening IFC file?
-
Hi @Solibrians
I just realized that component’s name changes after reopening the IFC file:

I searched component with GUID, closed Solibri, then reopened Solibri with IFC file and search again with same GUID. The name of component has been changed.
Can you explain for me? Maybe it causes of IFC file.
Thanks -
The name that you see is constructed in Solibri. I assume that the component on the left is in a project with multiple IFC files and when you open the file alone it has a different name. Does the name change, if you open the IFC file, close it, and open it again?

@Pasi-Paasiala The name changes when I open the IFC file, close Solibri not the IFC only, and open it again

This looks like a bug of some sort. If the ifc file is exactly the same the name should stay the same. Can you send that ifc file to support?

@manuel-furia Can you create a folder on https://caspian.solibri.com for me to upload the IFC file?
I can’t send the file via mail and can’t share it in public -
Hello @HieuVH , send us an email to support and we will create a Caspian link for you. It needs to have a password and we can not share the password here only to your email.
Thank you -

@jacob-wangara the file is only for this issue. (in Topic 3014 folder)
I tried to upload file for that issue in Topic 3016 folder but got the error message

The IFC file is around 220MB, maybe is it too large to upload? -
Hi @HieuVH I’ve sent you a new link. Please try it and reply to the email if any issues occur.
Thanks.
