When Items are established and linked between dRofus and IFC, Occurrences can be import imported and synchronizesynchronized.

Before importing and synchronize synchronizing occurrences, we recommend reading the following: The use of IFC Guid's Using IFC GUID in the Occurrence configuration

To import or synchronize occurrences:

1. Select Item(s) that you want need to synchronize be synchronized

  1. Go to BIM → Occurrences → Synchronize with model.

...

This will open a new window ;

...

  1. Use a filter if you want to synchronize occurrences for selected Items or all linked Items in dRofus

  2. Import/Update Occurrences. This option cannot be turned off.

  3. Update occurrences. This option cannot be turned off.

  4. Delete unlinked Occurrences. Deletes This function deletes occurrences in dRofus that do not have a matching instance in the IFC - , according to the Occurrence → IFC Occurrences configuration.

  5. Move occurrences to this model.

  6. Import systems. Imports systems and system memberships for Occurrences.

When starting the sync operation you will first be presented with a preview of , the preview will show how many occurrences will be creates created and deleted (if Delete unlinked Occurrences is are selected). Before you proceed The sync can be canceled if needed before proceeding with the actual sync you can cancel the sync if needed.

...

In the The above image you can see shows that 38 occurrences will be created in dRofus. The result in the Occurrences pane looks like this;

...

The synchronization have has now been conducted according to the synchronization options made and the active Occurrence <-> IFC Occurrence attribute configuration.

If the IFC model contains IFC spaces that are linked with the rooms in dRofus, according to the Room <-> IFC Room configuration, the sync operation will place the occurrences in the linked rooms' Items list. In the image above you can see in the first column that some of the , the imported occurrences have been assigned a room relation in the first column. There are some prerequisites in the IFC model for connecting occurrences to rooms to work.

...

  1. The IFC model used for importing / syncing occurrences must contain IFCSpaces that are linked with to the rooms in dRofus.

  2. The Objects in the IFC file must have a relation be related to the IFC Space, not only e.g. to the IFC Story or IFC Building.

  3. The equipment list for the room must have the following statuses in order to connect the occurrence to the room equipment list;

    1. Not created

    2. Unique

    3. Derived

Rooms with equipment lists coming from a room template or equipment template will not be updated from IFC. The occurrences will need to be connected manually after import.
