Roadmap 0.10, CivilCraft

CV.1 BCF issues in CivilCraft, next to LandXML

  • CivilCraft

Asked on LinkedIn under a post about CivilCraft, by a BIM/COBie specialist: is there BCF support, or similar, when using the LandXML interoperability with site personnel? Today: no. LandXML 1.2 in/out is built (points, TIN surfaces, alignments with profiles, pipe networks) but LandXML has no place for issues. BCF 2.1 is built and schema-valid in BimCraft (Issues, one viewpoint per issue) and MarkupCraft (PDF markups).

This row: Issues in CivilCraft: pin a problem to a plan location, an alignment station, a surface point or a pipe, with its 2D/3D view, a title, status and comment; export and import BCF 2.1 (and read 3.0) so site personnel and BIM tools exchange them next to the LandXML file. Build on BimCraft's BCF code as shared lib plus a thin CivilCraft adapter (build-for-super), and tie into Problems where a check already finds the issue. Open: how a BCF viewpoint maps to a plan or profile view (BCF cameras are 3D; the plan view needs an orthogonal camera); whether issues travel inside the LandXML as extension data (not standard: probably a sidecar). Untested: nothing built.
