Solibri eliminates repetitive manual checking cycles. Define a workflow once, schedule it to run overnight, and receive complete results: updated models, BCF reports, ITO exports, and coordination summaries, before your team starts work.
BIM quality checking is not a one-time task. On most projects, it is a workflow that repeats daily or weekly across every active model: opening files, selecting rulesets, running checks, reviewing results, generating reports, and distributing findings to coordination teams.
When that cycle is performed manually, it depends on individual availability, consistent execution, and the right model versions being in place at the right time. Across complex projects or project portfolios, manual checking cycles accumulate into a significant capacity constraint, and introduce inconsistency that undermines the reliability of quality governance.
Automated BIM checking solves this. By defining the workflow once and executing it on a schedule, teams ensure consistent results on every cycle, regardless of workload or availability.
The value of automation is not measured in cost lines. It is measured in the hours your BIM team stops spending on task execution, and the consistency that follows when that execution is no longer dependent on individual availability.
Schedule automated workflows to run during evenings or overnight. By the time your team starts work, models can be updated and checked, BCF reports prepared, presentations created, and ITO data refreshed. The working day begins with results to review and issues to resolve, not a workflow to set up.
Manual checking introduces variation: which ruleset version was applied, whether the latest model was loaded, who ran the check, and when it was completed. Workflow automation removes these variables. Define the process once and apply the same checks, configurations, and quality standards on every cycle.
Experienced BIM managers and VDC leads create the most value when coordinating issues, advising project teams, and making quality decisions. Automated workflows handle repetitive execution. Your team’s capacity goes toward work that requires expertise, not work that only requires availability.
When checks run according to a defined workflow and produce consistent outputs, quality assurance moves from individual effort to organizational practice. Repeatable workflows support governance reporting, internal accountability, and the structured evidence that project teams and clients increasingly require.
Solibri offers two ways to create and manage automated workflows: Autorun and Superrun. Both execute predefined actions automatically. Both can run overnight or on a schedule. The primary difference is how the workflow is built, managed, and extended.
Most BIM quality checking workflows follow a consistent pattern: open the latest model files, apply the correct ruleset and classification, run checks, review issues, create a presentation or export a BCF file, and save the updated model. Autorun and Superrun execute this pattern without requiring manual input at every stage.
Teams arrive to a complete set of results. Issues are identified, reports are ready for the morning coordination meeting, and the project has been saved. Every cycle follows the same configuration, creating consistency across project stages, teams, and model versions.
Existing Autorun workflows can continue to support established quality processes.
Superrun provides an additional option for teams that want a visual authoring experience and a broader range of workflow actions.
Open, update, save, and close IFC, SMC, DWG, PDF, and E57, LAS and LAZ files automatically from local folders, network drives, or connected systems. Solibri detects which model files have changed and updates only those, keeping every checking cycle current without manual file management.
Apply the classifications and rulesets your organization has defined, including IDS information requirements and project-specific rule configurations, automatically at the start of every batch run. The same quality standard is applied consistently, every time.
Run the full Solibri rule-based checking process automatically. Issues are identified, commented, and assigned severity levels. Zoomed snapshots are added to each result. All outputs feed directly into reporting and coordination workflows.
Export coordination issue reports in BCF format, the open standard used by BIM coordination tools across the industry, directly to local folders and shared drives.
Run Information Takeoff (ITO) calculations and export results to Excel automatically. Supports both plain Excel exports and custom-branded templates. Estimating, cost planning, and procurement teams receive updated quantity data on every cycle without requesting it from the BIM team.
Generate structured Excel summaries of checking results (what was checked, how many issues were found, and at what severity) using branded templates. Suitable for project managers, quality leads, and client reporting workflows.
Produce full coordination reports in Excel and general issue reports in PDF or RTF format. All reports can be written to local paths, shared network folders, or connected platforms. Reports are ready for distribution when your team starts work.
Create issue presentation views from checking results automatically, or update existing views as new checking cycles complete. Presentations can also be synchronized with an imported BCF file, keeping issue status current across disciplines.
Superrun extends automated workflows with visual and model-inspection actions. Workflows can include actions for:
- Coloring, selecting, and isolating components
- Applying component filters
- Changing the camera view
- Creating section views
- Measuring model components
- Taking snapshots
- Combining checking, visualization, presentations, and reporting in one workflow
This enables teams to automate a broader process rather than only the checking and export steps.
Autorun and Superrun works with the storage and collaboration platforms your project teams already use. Models can be accessed from local drives, mapped network drives, and a range of cloud-based platforms, depending on your organization's infrastructure.
Supported connections include Autodesk Forma, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft SharePoint, Trimble Connect, SAP, local file paths, and mapped network drives.
Recommended as the primary fit for BIM managers and project teams running recurring automated quality workflows.
Advanced includes Autorun for XML-based workflow automation. Teams can schedule model updates, ruleset application, checking, BCF exports, ITO reporting, and project saving as part of established technical pipelines.
It is the right starting point for any organization that wants to move from manual checking cycles to structured, scheduled automation. Includes 1,750 tokens per year.
Recommended for organizations managing BIM quality at portfolio scale: multiple projects, standardized governance frameworks, or enterprise deployment requirements.
Premium includes both Autorun and Superrun. Organizations can maintain established XML-based workflows with Autorun while using Superrun to build, validate, and share broader workflows through a visual interface.
Premium is sales-led and typically involves an implementation conversation with the Solibri team. Includes 17,500 tokens per year.
Designed for organizations operating in secure, regulated, government, or critical infrastructure environments where model validation must run entirely offline.
Security+ includes Autorun, which is unlimited and does not consume tokens. This enables organizations to automate repeatable quality workflows within their controlled infrastructure, maintaining local data control and operational independence with no cloud dependency.
Autorun and Superrun use a token consumption model. Tokens are deducted only when a run completes successfully. A failed or incomplete run does not consume tokens. This means your organization uses tokens for completed workflows that deliver results.
Each Solibri Advanced and Solibri Premium plan includes a starting allocation of tokens that renews with your plan.
Autorun: 1 successful execution = 100 tokens
Superrun: 1 successful execution = 300 tokens
Solibri Advanced and Solibri Premium annual subscriptions include a starting allocation of tokens that renews with the plan.
Included with your plan:
Tokens are shared across your organization and can also be used for Web Checker, Solibri's guided online model checking feature. If you need more capacity, additional tokens are available for purchase.

You can automate workflows in Solibri with Autorun or Superrun. Autorun uses XML workflow files for established technical pipelines, while Superrun provides a visual, guided workflow builder. Both options can automate predefined actions such as opening and updating models, applying rulesets, running checks, creating presentations, exporting reports, and saving projects. Workflows can also be scheduled to run unattended through command-line tools, scripts, or external schedulers.
Solibri Autorun automates recurring BIM quality assurance workflows using an XML workflow file. Teams can define actions such as opening or updating models, applying rulesets, running checks, exporting BCF and ITO reports, and saving projects. Autorun can be launched through the command line, scripts, or external scheduling tools. It is available with Solibri Advanced, Premium, Security+, and the legacy Solibri Office product.
Solibri Superrun provides a visual, guided way to build and run automated BIM quality workflows. Users add and configure actions, arrange them in sequence, validate the workflow, and save it as a reusable .superrun file. Superrun workflows can be launched in Solibri or through command-line and external scheduling tools. Superrun is available with Solibri Premium only.
Superrun workflows are created through an easy-to-use visual interface in Solibri and saved as .superrun files. Superrun also supports additional visualization and inspection actions, including component selection, filtering, camera control, measurements, and snapshots.
Autorun workflows are created as XML files and launched through command-line tools, scripts, or external schedulers.
