Functionality Highlights

Model Import

• Import 3D building designs from all major BIM tools
• Importing of several IFC files into one SMC model
• Importing a new version of the same IFC file
• Importing of model direct from ArchiCad 8.1, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0
  
• Opening of compressed IFC files. This saves about 80% disk space as you can keep these files compressed all times
• Automated design discipline recognition of the imported models
• Selectable and adjustable color schemas per design discipline
  

IFC Support

• IAI Certified for IFC 2.0, IFC 2X, IFC 2X2, IFC 2X3
• Extended IFC property sets supported including IFC Element Quantities type of properties 

Analysis and Checking

• Automated checking and analysis of the building design
• Highlighting potential design issues in the 3D visualization model
• Classification of design issues into three groups based on severity
• Enables user to define customized rules for model checking
• Automated space analysis and measurement
• Quantity takeoff with optional integration with cost estimation systems
• Zone management
• Sophisticated algorithm for defining escape routes of the building
• Intelligent clash checking based on components’ design discipline and type, and severity of the clash
• Accessibility rules
  
• Model version comparison
• Conformity between Architectural and Structural models including reasoning for walls and slabs modeled with beams and columns in structural model
  

Communication

• Easy-to-use 3D visualization of the building with walk-in functionality
• Advanced model quality report in RTF, PDF and XML formats
• Report tables generated by rules can be excluded from RTF and PDF reports
• Presentations automatically generated from checking results
• Solibri Issue Locator provides the issue list directly in the CAD tool*
  

* Solibri Issue Locator is currently supported in Autodesk ADT and Archicad environments.
