I would like to create a BIM Collaboration File using the Xbim Toolkit. I'm having difficulty implementing xbimBCF due to my lack of programming experience. I was wondering if there any samples that could help me implement xbimBCF, please? Thank you.
The best to start is to have a look in tests like this. BFC is very simple schema. You can find documentation, examples and additional information on the official buildingSMART website.
Complete working example:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using Xbim.BCF;
using Xbim.BCF.XMLNodes;
namespace CreateBCF
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var bcf = new BCF {
Project = new ProjectXMLFile {
Project = new BCFProject {
Name = "Sample Project",
ProjectId = "0HE7wY7irAE9b6u8RhVcUT"
}
},
Version = new VersionXMLFile("1.0"),
Topics = new List<Topic> {
new Topic {
Markup = new MarkupXMLFile {
Header = new BCFHeader {
Files = new List<BCFFile> {
new BCFFile {
Date = DateTime.Now,
Filename = "Sample.ifc",
IfcProject = "0HE7wY7irAE9b6u8RhVcUT",
IfcSpatialStructureElement = "3sYjbGNsP7hQb8RP1A$gnO"
}
}
},
Comments = new List<BCFComment> {
new BCFComment(
Guid.NewGuid(),
Guid.NewGuid(),
"open",
DateTime.Now,
"Blaseius Aichel",
"This needs to be replaced completely!") {
Topic = new AttrIDNode(new Guid("9B981279-4B63-46A0-ABF0-432E27B5ADC0"))
}
},
Topic = new BCFTopic(new Guid("9B981279-4B63-46A0-ABF0-432E27B5ADC0"), "Sample Topic"),
Viewpoints = new List<BCFViewpoint> {
new BCFViewpoint(Guid.NewGuid()) { Snapshot = "snapshot01.png", Viewpoint = "Base Viewpoint"}
}
},
Snapshots = new List<KeyValuePair<string, byte[]>> {
new KeyValuePair<string, byte[]>( "snapshot01.png", File.ReadAllBytes("snapshot01.png"))
},
Visualization = new VisualizationXMLFile {
}
}
}
};
using (var output = File.Create("sample.bcf"))
{
var data = bcf.Serialize();
data.CopyTo(output);
output.Close();
}
}
}
}
