At the moment it is a great provider of information, but it relies too heavily on static reports and manual distribution of information. This can be very useful to help ensure the latest revision is being used and also help understand exactly what has changed in a third party model before blindly re-introducing it into the project. There is also a free Solibri Model Viewer tool, which can help visualise all the results in the context of the 3D model. This not only helps users better understand what information is held within the model, but checks for any discrepancies in the meta data. Solibri reckons a good rule of thumb is one licence for every ten BIM users, though it really depends on attitude to quality assurance. Literally anything in the model can be checked — that all rooms have openings, that there are no duplicate components e.

CollectiveBIM: A new BIM blog reviews Solibri Model Checker | ThinkBIM™

Roles are used to manage quality assurance and information take-off. At the moment it is a great provider of information, but it relies too heavily on static reports and manual distribution of information. Thus giving project participants the confidence to put their trust in a shared BIM dataset. For example, what has been added, what has been removed, mode, has been modified — geometry and data.

Solibri Model Checker is not perfect.

User customisation extends to creating new rules based on the proformas but does not extend to the development of new rules, but it is on the wish list.

However, Solibri Model Checker can be used to help ensure that when the COBie dataset gets created it is populated with the right and accurate information. The checking workflow is pretty straightforward.

Click on an entry in the COBie spreadsheet and it will highlight the component in the model and vice versa.

Solibri does not have to be used by skilled BIM operators — a project lead, for example, could use it to check that the design is the best fit for the brief, not just that everything fits together from an operational point of view. Solibri also provides the tools to display classification data thematically. Once opened, the IFC file can be browsed from the model tree, which is located on the left hand side of the screen. This close relationship makes it easy to see where there are shortfalls in the data.

The user can drill down by level, IFC model type, family name and item. A Building Information Model can be an incredibly powerful asset, but will have limited use downstream if it is riddled with errors. But its real power lies in its ability to validate any data held within the model.

As an aside to this, Solibri Model Checker also includes tools to compare two versions of the same model.

An architectural practice, for example, could use chec,er for internal QA to check if its BIM models are sound and if the design ,odel to building regulations. If you work with BIM models, and want more confidence in the quality of the data you produce or use, then Solibri Model Checker is an excellent proposition. Any component or group of components can be highlighted or hidden from view at the click of a button.

This was designed to test if the IFC Industry Foundation Classes file format could be used successfully wolibri Tier 1 contractors to exchange model data and therefore also create COBie Construction Operations Building information exchange datasets. The net result of this is that IFC output really needs to be audited for content and compliance.

Double clicking on vhecker IFC component zooms to its position within the model, which is displayed to the right of the screen. There is also a free Solibri Model Viewer tool, which can help visualise all the results in the context of the 3D model. The software can be tailored to validate models for many different workflows: Autodesk is also in the process of adoption, so it should not be long before there is sufficient momentum to give it wide adoption.

It is important to understand how to best optimise the output from the chosen BIM tool as this will have a major impact on the workflow inside Solibri and ultimately the BIM deliverable — whether that moxel a federated IFC model or a COBie dataset. For example, to check all doors or windows have the right Uniclass classification in relation to their IFC standard properties.

Solibri reckons a good rule of thumb is one licence for every ten BIM users, though it really depends on attitude to quality assurance.

This is an extremely powerful way to visualise what data is held within the model, as opposed to its geometry. The problem with most BIM authoring software is that there is no ssolibri way to check the quality of models.

Introducing better workflows for collaboration, perhaps through the managed distribution of change orders, would also add significant value.

Classification allows the components to be restructured hierarchically based on any data in the model. Other issues that may come to light when navigating the model can also be captured and highlighted in the report. The system stores a full audit trail of issues and fixes. It is also adept at refining the information inside the model for use downstream. COBie data can be displayed thematically, so it is possible to see exactly which components are lacking in information.
