Marc, We haven't trialed the Binder approach yet as we cant get a single pdf to retain its link when translating to IFC! We are happy to just link to the pdf binder as a file and not necessarily the specific drawing in the binder. This would put the FM operators in the right ballpark etc. What we are trying to do is use our model as an as-built record for the architectural elements which lie within our responsibility and link say, an element of the facade to a pdf of the sub contractor record drawings as they will not be updating the model. We can attach a pdf link to the drawing in the Aecosim model but cant seem to get the links to translate through - is it a mapping issue? - If its not going to work is their a way to achieve what we would like to do by linking the IFC output to a pdf so that the link is retained in most IFC viewers? Can we discuss after the event tomorrow?
