How to create an IDS buildingSMART file with Plannerly

TL;DR

Learn how Planetly solves the challenge of creating an IDs (Information Delivery Specification) using the Building Smart Data Dictionary, making it readable by humans and interpretable by computers.

Transcript

the building smart Summit in this outcome takes place in lilester in Norway unfortunately we cannot be there in person but that was a beautiful challenge that we wanted to bring a solution for and that was to go through this entire building smart workflow of creating an IDs the very first day we were focusing on on the creation of an IDs and that's...

Key Insights

• 💽 IDs (Information Delivery Specification) is a standard that combines human-readable and computer-interpretable data.
• 🙃 Planetly utilizes the Building Smart Data Dictionary (BSDD) to create IDs and ensures accurate naming and classification of elements.
• 💁 Users can tailor information requirements by selecting appropriate property domains and adding their own properties if desired.
• 🙃 The visual matrix representation of IDs makes it easy for non-BIM users to understand and communicate project expectations.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an IDs, and how does Planetly approach its creation?

An IDs is an Information Delivery Specification, a standard defining information requirements. Planetly uses the Building Smart Data Dictionary (BSDD) to make it readable and interpretable. They set up links, choose classification and property domains, and define information requirements.

Q: How does Planetly ensure accurate naming and classification of elements in the IDs?

Planetly's integration with the BSDD ensures accurate naming and classification. As users type in an element name, they are presented with entries from the BSDD, ensuring the right naming and classification for each element.

Q: Can users create their own properties if they don't want to use the BSDD?

Yes, users have the option to create their own properties if they don't wish to use the BSDD. Planetly allows users to define custom properties and link them to the appropriate property sets.

Q: How can the IDs be exported as specifications?

Planetly's export settings allow users to create ID specifications with a simple click. Users can fine-tune the settings, filter down to teams, specify the version of IFC, and add a title and description to generate the final IDs.
