IDS Audit Tool: Wrong error message for Pset_FootCommon.LoadBearing and Pset_FurnitureTypeCommon.Reference

[MatthiasWeise]

Both properties exist in IFC4, but are wrongly reported as an error. It is most likely due to an update in IFC4.0.2.0.
My understanding of IFC4 in IDS is that it is based on latest official version, IFC4.0.2.1.

Error 103: Invalid property baseName LoadBearing (accepted values are Reference,Status) in the context of Ifc4 on 'simpleValue' element at line

Hello @andyward,
any idea if XBIM has ways to control the minor versioning of Xbim.Essentials to generate the right metadata for the IDS Audit tool?

Marked for discussion and documentation in order to discuss the expected schema versions, and document it.

Hi @CBenghi

My understanding is that IDS only supports 'Official' schemas, not Retired/Withdrawn. So I don't see how we'd need to validate for specific IFC schema minor versions, since currently:

IFC2x3 = IFC2x3 TC2 = 2.3.0.1
IFC4 = IFC4 ADD2 TC1 = 4.0.2.1
IFC4x3 = IFC 4.3 ADD2 = 4.3.2.0

I'd guess the issue is that xbim.Properties (used in ids-lib) must not have been updated based on the IFC4 pset xml definitions in the latest addendums. We updated it for 4x3 ADD2 recently but it's quite possible it never gott updated for IFC4 ADD2+

Hi Andy,
You're quite right, I read this quickly and mixed up in my mind schemas and properties.
I'll review the details tomorrow.
Thanks
