Please be aware that incredibly huge models - especially large ones - take a bit of time to upload. First, the file is uploaded to your the dRofus server, and then, from there, it is uploaded to the Catenda IFC (BimSync) solution. Then, the model is processed, meaning all fields are interpreted.

Matching keys in dRofus and IFC

When the right keys are set for the room, try to run running a "match test".” This will check the model to see how many rooms are matched using the chosen keys. If you are unsure of what fields to use, you can also choose to Use the "get suggestion" - this suggestions" tool to ask dRofus to find a match. This will look through the ifc IFC model and find likely candidates.
For The process is the same for occurrence matching and the item matching the process is the same, though you have somewhat less help, with fewer resources. To find matching fields, we recommend using a tool like Solibri Anywhere to find see what fields there are in the ifcIFC. If the IFC file contains no fields matching fields to those you have in dRofus, you will need to do create a new ifc IFC export (or Use a dRofus update from the model design file to get load the keys into dRofus).
When this is done, you should be able to set a 2d floor plan of your model on the right side, like shown below.
