SOLIBRI ARCHICAD LINK

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Solibri ARCHICAD Link is a software extension that integrates Solibri Model Checker (SMC) with Graphisoft’s ARCHICAD, enabling real-time design checking. This integration allows users to update BIM models quickly without the need for file exchanges between the two programs.

Key Features:

Direct Link: Establishes a direct connection between ARCHICAD and SMC, facilitating seamless workflow integration.
Real-Time Design Checking: Users can design, check, and amend models on the fly, enhancing efficiency in the construction workflow.
Component Selection: Users can select components to export by layers or floors, and any design faults identified in SMC can be easily corrected in ARCHICAD.

Installation and Setup:

Create a 'Solibri' folder in the ARCHICAD extension files directory and copy the appropriate version of the link.
Start ARCHICAD to access the SMC menu in the toolbar.
Configure settings by selecting the SMC Launch Folder and export settings, choosing whether to export all components or only those in visible layers.

Model Export and Checking:

Export the ARCHICAD model to SMC using the SMC menu. Note that this export differs from IFC export, with potential differences in component properties and colors.
Use SMC to check the model and identify components needing fixes.
Components identified in SMC can be added to the Selection Basket and selected in ARCHICAD for corrections.

Model Saving: When saving the SMC model, its information is stored in the ARCHICAD model. Upon subsequent exports, users can choose to open the saved SMC model or create a new one.

Conclusion: The Solibri ARCHICAD Link enhances the design process by providing a fast, efficient connection between ARCHICAD and SMC, supporting versions 16–20 of ARCHICAD. For further information, users are encouraged to contact Solibri sales.

Solibri ARCHICAD Link / Real time design checking ✓ Direct link between ARCHICAD and Solibri Model Checker ✓ Design, check and amend 'on the fly' ✓ True workflow integration Solibri Model Checker (SMC) offers a unique software extension for those designing with Graphisoft's ARCHICAD solution. This software provides users a direct link between SMC and ARCHICAD. Once downloaded, a SMC icon is added to the main menu bar in ARCHICAD. With a few clicks, the user can export the BIM file into SMC. From there, the user can highlight model elements and have them replicated in both solutions. If design faults are found by SMC, the same elements can be easily selected in ARCHICAD for corrections to be made. SMC also offers the opportunity for the user to find the component and see the properties of any element selected in ARCHICAD. These properties include location, quantities, profile, relations and property sets. You can also elect what components to export by layers or by floors. Solibri ARCHICAD 20 Link supports ARCHICAD 16-20 versions and can be found on Solibri Solution Center. It provides a fast, easy and useful connection for those busy in the construction workflow.
