1.In the Solibri Connection palette: Click the Export Settings button.
2.Select the view for export.
The selected view can either be 2D or 3D. In case of floor plan view, the visible elements on the selected story will be exported.
Note: Even if you select a Structural Analytical model view, all of the view’s physical elements (not the Structural Members) will be exported to Solibri.
3.Select the IFC translator for the Export. (Click Options to see a summary of the IFC Translator’s settings.)
Translators can be managed from File > Interoperability > IFC > IFC Translators.
4.After you have selected the view and the translator: click OK.
5.In the Solibri Connection palette: Click Export to Solibri.
6.The model is exported.
7.Make sure to save the model in Solibri: the next time you open it, the Solibri model can resume its connection to the ARCHICAD model.
Export multiple models into one Solibri
Users can connect multiple ARCHICAD instances with one Solibri. Once the connection between the ARCHICAD and Solibri is established, the second ARCHICAD can be connected as well.
1.Launch the second ARCHICAD.
2.From the Solibri Connection palette, click on Export to Solibri.
3.A Warning appears: another ARCHICAD model is already connected to the currently loaded Solibri model.
4.To add a second ARCHICAD model: Click Append.
Note: In this situation, Connection Settings indicates that Solibri is using the port to connect to another ARCHICAD. The same connection is used for the second ARCHICAD model, too.
This model will appear in Solibri next to the first one.
