IfcSite and

[twosk]

Hi, how to easily visualize where is the project origin/zero? I am very much interested in visually comparing/showing it to others

Displaying one ifcsite in 3d is not as straightforward as it could be.

It would be great if solibri would allow annotation snapping to origin as well.

I am using BIMcollab for this

@lraimo Solibri has something similar

[twosk]

@lraimo Could you please elaborate further?

[lraimo]

@twosk In BIMcollab there is a button to visualize model origin and thank to @Mvandenbrink I now know that Solibri has same functionality
Result is like this

[twosk]

In solibri this kind of works if the model is in the project zero, not large, world coordinate system. If the models are in the the large coordinates, Solibri puts origin in origin (000) making it distorted. In my opinion origin should be evaluating IFCCARTESIANPOINT placement. Moreover it would be nice to be able to snap to origin and display several models origins.

I did not understand which origin is displayed in bimcollab. Is it for all models?

@twosk
BIMcollab works same way, shows origin (000)

[twosk]

@lraimo yes, but which model? is this option for all models?

[lraimo]

@twosk Origin is not model specific. It just shows where coordinate 0,0,0 is located.

@twosk . All designers model the alignment part in their own model.
