Advocates for OpenBIM - Support for IDS

[Zoltan Vale]

Have you ever worked with IFC based exchange requirements coming through extremely confusing large spreadsheets and pdf-s? Now, the official buildingSMART standard IDS is here to fix this issue: https://www.buildingsmart.org/standards/bsi-standards/information-delivery-specification-ids/

To keep our flagship status when operating in open standard based workflows we have added a functionality into Archicad 28 which can automatically create project data based in this new IDS format. Simply import an IDS and see all referenced properties, classifications created in your Archicad project ready to be used. Furthermore the import creates an IFC mapping preset so you IFC based deliverables are already conforming to the exchange requirements.

Please do check our this feature if you are into IFC based workflows or already have some IDS requirements available to you. Feel free to let us know of any issues and suggestions. Let's get the discussion going.

Well - IDS-file import works, but there are other issues:

1. It seems not all IDS Compilers satisfy Archicad requirements (for import). There's no error message, simply 0 result.

2. IDS classification / type requirements are a real pain with established templates.

3. Non accessable attributes ...

In practice any usefull Information Delivery Specification needs to be custom tailored for Archicad / Revit ...

So where is the Archicad-Addon for IDS Authoring?

Hi @Franz Sdoutz & @Zoltan Vale 

I found this tool to configure & download IDS data scopes for Archicad - https://www.bimids.eu/lu-en/elements

And the tutorials here - https://www.bimids.eu/lu-en/softwares-guide/archicad-guide

I am only starting to explore & learn about IDS and how to implement it in Archicad.

I have not yet tested these, but in your opinion, are they any good in Archicad's IDS workflow?

PS: I am also keen to attend this webinar on Information Delivery Specification (IDS) by GRAPHISOFT & Plannerly with Zoltan Vale , Akos Hamar  and Clive Jordan .

GRAPHISOFT and Plannerly - The BIM Management Platform have teamed up to bring you a world's first(!) use of the buildingSMART IDS (Information Delivery Specification) in this Ultimate BIM Workflow! 🚀
 
 Discover a new way to create and leverage IDS, enhancing your model and simplifying model checking.

Here's what's waiting for you:

• Why IDS is key for the AEC industry
• Demo 1: Easy steps to create IDS
• Demo 2: Enhance your Archicad model with IDS
• Demo 3: Model checking against IDS with Plannerly

Get ready for a lively discussion, insightful demos, and the opportunity to supercharge your BIM workflow.
