Extensions provide a convenient cloud-based solution for delivering additional resources to the user for tools, such as COBie or custom solutions. An extension can include Rule Templates, Rulesets, Classifications, ITO Definitions and many other resource types. There are two types of extensions:
-
Company extensions: Companies may need to compile and distribute their own set of resources (rulesets for country-specific regulations, classifications, ITOs etc.) and this can be done with an extension. Company extensions provide a simple method to package and store your own extensions - extension files can be created in Solibri's Extension Manager and uploaded into Solution Center (SSC), where they will be available for users to install on their own machines via assignments in SSC.
Important
Company extensions are currently not available to Solibri Office Lite users.
Public extensions: Additionally, there are public extensions that are available to all users of Solibri (from version 9.13.0 onwards) and which do not require an assignment in SSC. These extensions can be free or paid. If you're a Solibri Office Lite user, you can access the public extensions in Solibri directly by clicking File > Extensions.
For more information on how to install and use extensions. See Installing and Using an Extension in Solibri Office.
Here are all the public extensions available in Solibri (v9.13.0 onwards):
