Hi all,
I trying to import a model authored in Civil 3D that has meta data attached using the Extended Data function as shown below. When I open or import the source DWG or exported .ifc with embedded data none of this pulls through into AECOsim. Does anyone have a solution for this interoperability problem?
If you are importing/referencing in an IFC, are you seeing the relevant information in any neutral IFC viewer like Solibri/BIM Vision?
Hi Tathagata, yes the information is coming through into Navisworks and Solibri, you can see in the second image the IFC is loaded into Navisworks with the information populated in separate headers
I have attached an IFC file with the exported data, as you can see below the Extended Data in Civil 3D has pulled through into Solibri, however in all Bentley software I have tried this information is not being imported.
Pile.ifc
Try referencing the ifc instead of importing. The extended data should show up.
If they do, try publishing an imodel from there...
FWIW, referencing or opening the IFC file (vs. importing) does not display those properties either.
David, is Construction Data a custom IFC property set? It's obviously making it into Solibri but I'm not sure there's an equivalent on the OBD/MicroStation side of the fence in order to map them over. The only mapped data is the generic IfcBuildingElementProxy.
