Codeless IFC Rules - Intergraph Smart 3D - Administration & Configuration

Interference rules that you customize using simple, text-based rules are called codeless IFC rules. You customize these rules in an XML configuration file instead of through code changes. Codeless IFC rules allow you to ignore objects for clash checking, ignore clashes between objects, and set clash properties.

Codeless IFC rule functionality is included in Smart 3D. Previously, this functionality was provided by Intergraph Services.

• The ProgID is InterferenceRules.CodelessIFC. Previously, it was CodelessIFCRule.ProcessorRule.

• The configuration files are delivered in [SymbolShare]\xml\Interference. Previously, these files were delivered in [SymbolShare]\CustomSymbols\ClashMgmt.

• The configuration file supports a Version attribute to control Change Management.

• If the default configuration rule file does not exist, the software uses the Sample.CodelessIFCRules.config file to determine whether to process the object or interference.

• The bulkload file for installation, IFCRule.xls, is delivered in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\DataFiles.
