Note

Customize Results is available from Solibri 26.6. The feature is available in Solibri Premium, Enterprise and Security+.

  • Solibri Enterprise, Premium, or Security+

  • An open model with at least one ruleset

  • Unlocked ruleset (if editing in Ruleset Manager)

Opening Customize Results

You can open Customize Results from the Checking tab, the Ruleset Manager, or the Views button.

How to Customize Results

  1. In the Customize Results view, expand the ruleset or rule you want to edit

  2. Select the row for the results you want to customize:

    1. Has errors: Apply a default customization to all results

    2. Result Type: Customize a specific result type only

    3. Irrelevant: Customize the description for irrelevant rules

  3. Fill in one or more of these fields:

    1. Then, custom title is 

    2. Then, custom description is 

    3. Then, Custom categories: Double-click to edit the list of categories, from parent to children. After editing, the category levels are shown inline separated by an arrow (e.g., Fire Safety → Exits)

    4. Status: Choose OK, Info, Alert, or Error

  4. Changes are saved automatically while editing

  5. Some of the results data in other views may not immediately show the latest customization. Click Refresh All Results to apply the changes across the results.

  6. Wait until the refresh is finished before checking the updated results.

Note

Gatekeeper rules can't be customized, but you can customize rules nested under them. More specific customizations override general ones.

How the rows work 

The selected row determines which results are affected.

  • A customization at the ruleset level applies to all rules in that ruleset unless a more specific customization overrides it.

  • A customization at the rule level applies only to that rule.

  • A customization at the Result Type level applies only to that result type for that rule.

  • More specific customizations always take priority over more general ones.

For example, if you add a custom title at the ruleset level and then add another custom title for one specific rule, the rule-specific title is shown in results from that rule, while the ruleset level title is shown in results from all other rules in the ruleset that are not customized.

Irrelevant results 

The Irrelevant row is used differently from Has errors rows.

For irrelevant results:

  • You can customize the message shown for the irrelevant result in the results area.

  • You cannot customize the title or categories for irrelevant results.

This is useful when you want to replace the default irrelevant message with a clearer project-specific explanation.

Titles and Descriptions 

Custom titles and descriptions are used in different ways:

  • The custom title is the short text shown in the results list.

  • The custom description can contain more detailed information and can be multiline.

  • After editing, the custom description is shown in the Info view when the result is selected.

This allows you to keep the result title short while giving users more context in the description.

Custom Categories 

You can use Then, custom categories are to place results into project-specific categories instead of relying only on the categories defined by the rule. Double-click the cell to open the editor for custom categories. Use the add, remove and reorder buttons in the toolbar of the custom categories editor to insert, delete and reorder categories. Double-click on an existing category in the list to edit its name.

When entering categories:

  • Arrange the categories in the desired order. The results will be arranged in nested folders according to the specified order, from top (parent category) to bottom (child category).

  • A category defined at the ruleset level applies to all results in that ruleset unless a more specific rule or result customization row is found. Note that a more specific row defining only a custom title but empty custom categories will still count as a full customization, replacing the ruleset level categories with the default one for that specific rules.

  • A category defined on a specific rule or result type applies only there.

This is useful when you want results to appear under clearer or more project-relevant groupings.

Understanding Custom Statuses 

These four statuses are separate from severity and used for filtering and reporting:

Status

Displays As

Use for

OK

Accepted

Acceptable results

Info

Info

Informational results

Alert

Alert

Results needing attention (not failures)

Error

Error

Failed results

Results displaying the OK custom status are also automatically marked as Accepted by Solibri, similarly to the outcome of the “Mark As Accepted” context menu action in the “Results” view.

Editing Status Display Names 

  1. In the toolbar, click Edit Status names

  2. Select a ruleset

  3. Enter custom names for each status

  4. (Optional) Click Apply current names to all rulesets

  5. Click OK

  6. Click Refresh All Results to refresh other views were results may appear

If you rename a status, for example changing Error to Failure, the new name is used only for the selected ruleset unless you apply the names to all rulesets.

If an issue is created from a single customized result using the “Add Slide” context menu action in the “Results” view, the display name of the custom status of the result at the moment of creation of the issue will be applied to the coordination “Issue Type” field.

Viewing Your Customizations 

To toggle between original and customized result displaying:

  • Use Show/Hide Customized Results in the Results or Info view toolbar

    ShowHideCustomizedResults.png

  • The Result Summary view shows custom status columns when customizations exist

Tips 

  • Start with a ruleset-level customization when you want one common title, description, category, or status across many rules.

  • Add rule-level or result-type customizations only where you need more specific wording.

  • Use Refresh All Results after editing so the changes are applied consistently.

  • Save the ruleset after editing if you want to reuse the customizations later.

  • Remember that rulesets saved with these customizations are intended for Solibri 26.6 or later. They are openable in older versions, but customizations will not be applied there.

Example 

  • Custom title: Door clearance does not meet project requirement

  • Custom description: The required free space in front of the door was not found. Review nearby components, furniture, or other obstructions and confirm the required clearance zone is maintained.

  • Custom category: Accessibility → Door Clearances
