Defining and Managing Geometrical Requirements in Cobuilder Link

Last Updated: November 29, 2024

To ensure that the elements in your model meet precise visual and spatial expectations, managing geometrical requirements is essential. Cobuilder Link provides the tools you need to define these requirements effectively. Here’s how to get started:

Adding Geometrical Requirements:
Start by navigating to the information requirements section and select “Add New” to initiate the process for defining geometrical details for an object. This will guide you through the steps necessary for managing the geometry requirements relevant to your project.

Select Geometry Aspects:
Within the Geometry section, Cobuilder Link allows you to specify detailed aspects for your objects, enhancing clarity and meeting project demands. You can define the following:

Detail: Specify the level of complexity in the object’s representation, from simplified forms to intricate details.
Dimensionality: Choose the spatial dimensions—whether it’s 0D (point), 1D (line), 2D (surface), or 3D (volume).
Location: Define whether the location should be absolute (relative to a reference point) or relative (positioned in relation to another object).
Appearance: Decide on the object’s visual characteristics, from symbolic representations to realistic textures.
Parametric Behaviour: Define if the object’s shape or positioning should adjust based on contextual parameters.
Adding Acceptance Criteria: For each geometrical aspect you set, you can include acceptance criteria, ensuring your project stakeholders understand the exact specifications needed. You also have the option to upload an example image to clarify requirements visually.
