In an industry driven by precision and standards, managing and ensuring compliance in early stages of your BIM projects can feel chaotic. Ensuring compliance and regulatory needs are met can often be a manual process that's difficult to standardize across teams, leading to delays and costly mistakes.

Using IDS format you can convert project requirements into a standardized file format approach.

For example, you can check whether model data follow specified naming convention or if components have fire ratings, etc.

IDS Workflow in Solibri

Solibri has the best IDS checking engine built within your tool. Paired with Solibri's IDS editor, you can create, validate and implement your whole IDS workflow all within your Solibri ecosystem.

Step 1

Specify requirements with IDS

With Solibri's IDS Editor, you can create IDS files based on your project specifications. Furthermore, whether you have generated an IDS file through Solibri of other sources, our IDS editor enables you to edit existing files, add new information delivery specifications and edit existing data.
The IDS Editor is available to all Solibri Office users with valid subscription or Service License agreement.

Step 2

Validate your IFC models against IDS requirements

Once created it is important to validate the data specified within against your model.
Either import or drag and drop your IDS file into Solibri, run the IDS Validation Rule (#244) against your imported IDS file to see which model components have not complied with the specifications.

Step 3

Report issues directly through BCF

When issues are found between your model and the imported IDS file, simply create a 'Live Issue report' and share it directly with your construction stakeholders through Solibri's BCF link, all within your Solibri Office.
You can also export issues into Excel files, enabling different options for communication and collaboration.
