The function synchronize with model ensures that both the model and the room program are updated with information from each other. This requires that the room program and model be connected together by means of the methods mention above, but the synchronization function can also automatically create missing rooms in the model. What is synchronized is partly dependent on the configuration used.
Room core: Information about the room core such as name and programmed area will be updated in the model. You will be able to create rooms that may be missing in the model.- Update rooms from model: Room information such as designed area, perimeter, room height and geographical room number and name of the drawing will be updated in dRofus. This requires proper configuration and that you have write access to the room program.
- Function Program: Information about function/sub-functions and the project will be updated in the model.
- RFP: RFP schema will be updated in the model property set associated with the room.
You can also generate model objects from dRofus (creating a "dummy" model). This applies to both the room and equipment. If the goal of synchronization is to check the differences between the requirements and the solution, you should not generate rooms/equipment because there will no longer be any difference in the rooms/equipment in dRofus and the model.
- Add new rooms: Rooms in dRofus that are not linked to rooms in the model will be created (as IFCSpace objects)
- COBie compliant: See Chapter 3.6.
- Equipment: Information and relevant planning articles will be updated (see section 4.2).
You will be able to choose which of the above points you want to synchronize by choosing from synchronization dialog box. Please note that this may take some time depending on how much information is being synchronized and how many rooms it involves.
Synchronization can be done in the following ways:
- To synchronize one or more specific rooms, highlight the rooms and select Synchronize with model from the menu Rooms-> IFC.
- To synchronize an entire function/sub-function or the entire project, right click on the desired level and select Synchronize with model.
