Key attributes used for comparing
Matching between Solibri and dRofus requires a pair of key attributes/properties to on either side. The value of the Key attribute in Solibri/IFC model will be matched with the value of the corresponding dRofus attribute in the database, and the dRofus data of that room/occurrence will be displayed in the dRofus Property Panel.
All changes in configurations between dRofus and Solibri must be done by a user with admin access to dRofus
Room attribute Configuration
The Room attribute Configuration determine how dRofus rooms are linked with Spaces within Solibri. For customize the Room attribute Configuration open dRofus and navigate to Rooms → BIM → Solibri → Attribute Configurations:
Select Attribute Configurations and hit Edit:
The following dialog will then appear for Room <-> Solibri Room configuration:
The above dialog has three main areas:
List of all the available dRofus Attributes that you can use as key attribute in dRofus.
List of available IFC Parameters that you can use as key attribute. The set of properties is limited as dRofus can only display properties that Solibri exposes on their room objects. In order to chose from a full set of properties please see Local upload and export of IFC files . After connecting to the IFC you will see a full set of IFC properties when opening the Room Attribute Configuration.

You can also set "Configuration properties":
Available to users: If this is checked all Users can see / use this configuration. If it is not checked, only those Users who have Project Administrator Rights can view / use this configuration.
Is default configuration: If this is checked, it means that this configuration will be the default configuration for all users, until users select another configuration that is Available to users.

Configuring Occurrences ↔︎ Component match
The dRofus Solibir extension use IFC GUID as the built-in key attribute used for comparing. This means that if the user selected object in Solibri is NOT a space, we try to find a dRofus occurrence in the database whose IFC GUID matches the IFC_GUID of the selected object in Solibri.
