OpenBridge - export to IFC

Any update on this? also can each object of the bridge be geolocate?

Hi Luc, 

For geolocate please have a look over this article

Thank you Vlad, but I was more interested in..... if I export to IFC only one member of the bridge. Will the Geolocation info of that element will be store somewhere in the IFC file? So it can be read back?

If someone open the IFC and choose to place by Geolocation the element will be place in the correct position and orientation.

Another scenario, we export the generic shape we have design, send that shape to a sub-contractor who modify for its needs. return the modify element.

Then we can replace the previous version by the new one we receive and everything fall in place. (Interchangeability and interoperability)

Hi Luc,

OBM models (like all Microstation platform technology) models in real world coordinates so no specific coordinate translation needs to happen.
