Hi community,
I am getting more involved into projects requiring COBie deliverables and had some questions among many about sections like the CreatedBy and CreatedOn properties. While the property themselves are self-explanatory, I am struggling to wrap my head around understanding how the original proponents of this concept expected these values to be captured particularly in an environment like Revit. Did they really expect people to manually timestamp the date and time with seconds to the "T" on when an element was created in a model? I understand and for my own purposes will be using the API and coding to programmatically automate these values for me, however, I doubt out of the box every person working on a project knows how to do the same. I don't see any tool that comes with the Autodesk Interoperability Tools that tracks this for you. Am I missing something? I don't understand how the Sample files in the Autodesk Interoperability Tools site has that information filled out, was it generated by a tool, or did someone really timestamp each and every wall, door, window, etc? I am curious to know how others manage this workflow? Thank you.
The COBie Extension will update those fields when the user runs Update. It's not granular, but it gets the job done. My understanding is that the Created On field is intended to be when the COBie data was generated, not when the element was modeled in Revit.
Video on using the Update tool on the COBie Extension is here:
