Solibri - Open, Add, Update & Remove Model

To start working on an IFC project for the first time, you need to open a model. Importing multiple IFC models from various disciplines creates a federated model, which allows design coordination and interdisciplinary checks.

Every time you open a new model, you must ensure that the model discipline is correct. Watch the attached Video for the simple steps in the SOLIBRI Office.

Updating a Model contains 3 Options :

Select one of the three updating options:

• Update: Requires you to manually carry out this task when you want to update any models. If the filename has changed (revision letter, date etc.) then the new version of the file will need to be located using the Folder icon () at the end of the row. This will need to be done for each model.

• Automatic: Updates are done automatically in the background when the software is started, and during a session if the time stamp is changed. Make sure that the new version of your file(s) is located in the same folder where the original model file is, and that it has the same name. The software will update your model automatically.

• Prompt: You will get a prompt when the update is available, and the updating starts at your convenience. Make sure that the new version of your file(s) is located in the same folder where the original model file is, and that it has the same name.
