The software reads the configuration file in a specific order to facilitate rule development and testing. For Server IFC, the configuration file is read once when the IFC detection process starts. For Local IFC, the configuration file is read each time you modify it.

Each time the software reads the configuration file, it writes a snapshot of the rules contained in the configuration file to a log file.

Test CodelessIFCRules changes before release

  1. Copy the current configuration file to a file called [YourModelName].CodelessIFCRulesTesting.config.

  2. Open a command prompt window, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    set CodelessIFCRulesTesting=TRUE

  3. Type the name of your session file, including the full path (for example, D:\Test\MySession.ses), and then press ENTER.

  4. Use Local IFC detection to edit, test, and finalize the rules in the testing configuration file.

    SHARED Tip Delete the clashing parts and perform an UNDO to re-evaluate local clashes.

    If the configuration file contains formatting errors, the software displays an error message. You can make corrections and then proceed.

  5. Update the main configuration file with the final tested changes, and reprocess existing clashes if necessary. See Configuration File Change Management.
