The TfNSW Digital Engineering Toolbar outlines a workflow for checking and exporting data that meets the relevant TfNSW Digital Engineering Schemas. Notes: Due to the fluid nature of the TfNSW Digital Framework, schemas used were current at time of updating the 12d TfNSW Customisation. Attributing and Validating tools are updated against TfNSW Schemas for future [...]

For TfNSW SUI Surveys - the string attributes that have been set, via the use of the Feature attribute map file (TfNSW_SUI_Attribute_Split_All.mapfile), within the Survey Data Reduction (SDR) function from the vertex attributes collected during pick-up will be copied to attributes with an extension of "_4DE". These newly created attributes have had their values checked [...]

Project > Management > Projections > Set projection Note:  The projection is only needed when a TfNSW Schema requires coordinates be provided as Lat/Lon. The Coordinate Projection used for data in the 12d Project is required when setting Lat/Lon attributes via Metaconnex or other functions in 12d. Return to Digital Engineering Toolbar

TfNSW_Project - Survey Schema [version] These are stored as Project Attributes that will be exported to an IFC file as Model (IfcProject) attributes. Note: The number, type, and value of attributes will vary based on the Schema Version in use. Return to Digital Engineering Toolbar

TfNSW_Project - BIM Schema [version] These are stored as Project Attributes that will be exported to an IFC file as Model (IfcProject) attributes. Some additional TfNSW_Location attributes are also created, that will be copied to objects when applying the relevant MetaConnex file. Note: The number, type, and value of attributes will vary based on the [...]

TfNSW_Project and TfNSW_Survey attributes need to be copied to a string so they can be validated with MetaConnex. This simple tool will; Create a Model: validateProjAttrs Create a View: VALIDATE PROJ ATTR Create a String: validateProjAttrs Copy TfNSW_Project and TfNSW_Survey attributes to the string This string may now be validated with MetaConnex. Note: 1. Ignore [...]

Validate element attributes against a DE Schema. Attributes that are missing will be shown under Mandatory or Optional. Attributes that do not have valid values will be shown under Invalid. Attributes that are not part of the selected Schema and are not in the Metaconnex file, will not be validated. The following video shows how [...]

Apply attributes globally to your data.  Depending on the MetaConnex file selected, this will copy Attributes (from Project, Vertex, etc), generate Lat/Long, and more. The following video shows how to use Metaconnex Apply https://vimeo.com/838164437 Return to Digital Engineering Toolbar

This is usually run twice, as it can be used to set attributes either globally or on individual elements; The first pass <Global Edit> is used to set Global Attributes that apply to many elements, such as Asset Owner. The second pass <Edit> will be to set attributes that apply to a specific element, such [...]

With the main premise behind BIM being the "Sharing and transfer of information", at some stage you will mostly likely need to export your data to be used in another software package.  And for that, IFC has become the industry "default" file format. IFC allows various objects to be exported, and maintain most of the [...]
