This article describes how you can make use of the Resources installed by an Extension. 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.
The number of possible Resources that may be included with an Extension varies significantly. Unlike the standard Resources that install with Solibri or are available through a company network, Extension Resources are available through their own tab within each of the relevant dialogs (Rulesets, Classification or ITO Definitions etc).
Example: Loading a Ruleset from an Extension
In this example, we will use the COBie UK Resources that work in conjunction with the COBie Platform.
