Conceptually, nothing new here, but far more detailed and clear for those of us who are not schooled in semantics, programming, web services, etc., than anything I have seen before. Now, about implementation ... off I go to Catenda to see what is happening there. I just came from bimsync.com. The front page has only one active link and that is to a login page. Is that avenue closed to casual traffic? There does not seem to be a way to register. Excellent!

It just generates proxies, nothing sophisticated, but it's easy to extend. In case you're interested, just fork it and adjust it to your needs. https://github.com/hlg/GroovyIFC It’s a very old thread to be reanimated, but just in case someone drops in: I wrote a script that converts *.dae (Collada) files to IfcFacetedBreps.

It took me some time to figure out this. I don't know if I have found the real problem but I managed to reproduce your problem by editing the file in XML copy editor instead of Gedit. When saving the file in XML copy editor I get the error message: <pre>Cannot save document in utf-8:Error at line1, column 1: Start tag expected, '<' not found (saved in default encoding UTF-8</pre> In other words. There is something odd in the original file generated from Solibri. Perhaps a mix of encoding. When I try to start using the file edited in XML copy editor I get the same error as you. I'm a bit hesitating to publish the complete and edited <b>.jnlp</b> file because to the copyright statements on the Solibri download page. I suggest you download a new .jnlp file, and edit it in Gedit. That did the trick for me. Alternatively you send me an e-mail on lars.bjorkhaug@urlofthiswebsite and I'll send you my working version.

I just downloaded solibri right now and couldn't start the program even havin' edited the jnlp-file. There were some exeptions on javax.vecmath, so I installed the package <code>libjava3d-java</code> (and its dependencies <code>libvecmath-java</code> and <code>libjava3d-jni</code> too). After all I had to soft-link them by <code> cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/ext/ ln -s /usr/share/java/j3dutils.jar j3dutils.jar ln -s /usr/share/java/j3dcore.jar j3dcore.jar ln -s /usr/share/java/vecmath.jar vecmath.jar </code>. Still a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetExeption occures. I'm wondering how you got the Solibri-Viewer running? Hi Lars!
