Upload and Generate COBie Data

You can upload COBie data that is associated with a model in order to view and edit building asset information in the IFC Viewer.

COBie data that is associated with a model is automatically uploaded into the system when you upload the associated IFC file. To view and work with the COBie data, click Generate COBie for the model in the Actions column of the BIM Home Page. Alternatively, you can also upload COBie manually from an Excel file and generate by following the steps below.
  1. Navigate to a document container and upload the Excel file.
  2. Attach the Excel file to the Model Files static virtual container.
  3. In the navigation tree, select the BIM container for your model to display the BIM Home page.
  4. Expand the static virtual container on the BIM Home page.
    A list of files attached to the static virtual container is displayed.
  5. Click Generate COBie in the Actions column for the Excel file.
    The conversion is placed in a processing queue. You will receive an email when complete.
You can view COBie data independently of the model by clicking Edit COBie in the Actions column on the BIM Home page or alongside a model by clicking View Model in the Actions column on the BIM Home page.
