Linked object assignment in a schedule

W by walpa on 22 Feb 2024, edited 26 Feb 2024 # +1 votes

Hi,

I have two IfcProject's in one file, the first is the main Project and the other is linked (Link Blend/Ifc file) in another file.

I would like to create a schedule in the main project with assignment of project objects linked to tasks.

I select the ifc object in the outliner and click on the "+" in Task ICOM/Outputs but nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong?

Or this type of "mix" has not yet been implemented.

Maybe @SigmaDimensions can help me.

Thanks

Analyzing the schedule module code I saw that it is not possible!

Only the active ifc file in the main project is accessed (BBim version 240222).

I think this behavior is widespread across BB, so federating multiple separate ifc files is not yet applicable.

Merging is an alternative, but in large projects this may bring more problems than solutions.

What do they think? Am I missing something?

This might interest you. As I understand it, it's new development on federation of files...
