COBie Import and Export was first introduced in Bentley Facilities SELECTseries 4. This was along with the COBie Challenge for Facilities Management that was also passed with the release.
In Bentley Facilities CONNECT Edition this feature has been improved to:
1. Support multiple classes and entire enterprise assets. So for asset import, multiple classes can now be defined within the mapping file, not only COBie standard related.
2. While exporting assets it is no longer necessary to select the related Facility. The COBie standard single data sheet only contains information for a single Facility and all its related assets.
