It will be most convenient if OBM can directly export IFC.

I haven;t tried it myself but I am assuming that data added by OBM should be explicitly mapped (perhaps as generic elements, beams, columns, piles etc.) prior to the export to IFC process in OpenBuildings.

Hi Sri, I have tested the new version of OBM (2022 R1), as you mentioned before Itemtypes do show up in Microstation and OpenBuildings, however, if I do .ifc export from OpenBuildings, I can't see it in .ifc file. How did you do the .ifc export to make it visible in BIMVision?

Regards,

Please try to make a small change to force a bridge update, like changing the skew of a support line by 1 degree and then change it back to the original value. This should force the update of the item types for an already existing file.

Looks like this only seems to work on newly created data - is there a way to "nudge" any pre-existing data to apply the Item Types to the native solids to be seen in Microstation and iTwin using this new version?

Hi Sri, I just tested in OBM 10.11 and dont see this, can you double check?

I test the version (2022 Release 1)，by opening the OBM file in MicroStation, and I can not see the Item Types for the footing selected in MicroStation.

When we could expect this 2022 release in year 2023 as it was for 2021 version?

Also works on the Export to IFC. We can see the item Types.

Do the item types get exported when the OBM file is exported to IFC? And do they show up in iTwin?

Sorry for the delayed response Mark, Yes, this is fixed in the current development version (2022 Release 1)

Just tested now by opening the OBM file in MicroStation, and I can see the Item Types for the footing selected in MicroStation.

Hi Sri, has this been resolved for 2022 Release 1? This issue also results in no Item Types being visible in any other PowerPlatform product like ORD and Microstation.

Unfortunately this is now confirmed as a defect. A defect has been logged, and will be investigated and fixed in a future release.
