Validation Rules help you validate data in your IFC model and find potential errors in NTI COMANAGE, Validation Rules are added by importing an IDS file (Information Delivery Specification), and then selecting which specifications you want to use in your project.

Before you start

To create Validation Rules, the Validate module must be enabled on the project.
If you can’t see it, ask your Project admin to enable it.

How to create Validation Rules

1. Navigate to the VALIDATE module.

2. Open the Validation Rules page.

3. Click Add IDS (upper right corner).

4. In the Add IDS dialog, upload your IDS file by either:

   • browsing for the file, or

   • dragging and dropping it into the dialog.

5. A specification group will automatically be created based on the IDS file name — or you can select an existing group.

6. Choose which specifications from the IDS file you want to add to the project.

7. Click Add.

8. You’ll now see the added specifications listed in the table.
