IFC validation error #508

Open GVladislavG opened 1 year ago

GVladislavG commented 1 year ago

Hello, xBim team! I got this validation error IfcBuilding '{label}' has null IIfcSite (invalid parent){} while analizing IFC file, created with xBim. But BimVision shows project hierarchy correctly. Building is attached to IfcSite. What is the reason of this problem?

Thanks!

Where is this validation error coming from?

GVladislavG commented 1 year ago

It's comming from one of viewers, that makes this validation and refuse to process IFC-file. IfcBuilding.IfcSite is readonly property and I couldn't find the way to set it.

Do you use IfcRelAggregates as shown in the documentation? https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/ifcspatialstructureelement.htm

GVladislavG commented 1 year ago

Yes, I do. I tried two ways ifcSite?.IsDecomposedBy.FirstOrDefault().RelatedObjects.Add(building); and ifcSite?.AddBuilding(building); And both doesn't set buiding.Site property... Result IFC-file is attached test.zip

Have you checked the actual IFC file you have created? Does it contain the aggregation relation?

GVladislavG commented 1 year ago

How can I check it?

martin1cerny commented 1 year ago

Just open the IFC file in text editor and check if there is IfcRelAggregates object connecting the site and the building.

GVladislavG commented 1 year ago

Yes, result IFC (in test.zip) contains aggregation relation. IfcRelAggregates object is connecting the site and the building and also the storey and IfcBuildingElementProxy

In that case, you will probably need to raise the question on the other side - with the developers of the application complaining about the missing 'property'.
