-
Rules are available in Solibri Advanced and Premium, with full editing access.
-
Rules can be viewed in read-only mode in Solibri Starter and Essential if they are already present in the SMC File.
Typically, one rule has many functions. The following lists help you to find the rule which is appropriate for your task.
This article covers the following topics:
