Correspondence Checking

Check architecture against structure, however each side modelled it.

SiloLink compares what is physically there, not how it was split into objects.

✓ Matched

Three possible results

Missing

Nothing in the other model sits in its place.

Unmatched

A counterpart is there, but it doesn't overlap enough.

Matched

Both models agree, however each side split it.

Fewer false alarms

Any type can match any other

A wall pier can match a column. SiloLink compares shared space, not IFC classes.

MissingSame type only: no wall found.

✓ MatchedCross-type: matched to the column.

Split elements are checked as one group

Touching pieces are grouped and compared together: 1:1, 1:N, N:1 or N:M.

Viewer screenshot: three architectural walls and a beam overlaid on two structural walls around a door opening.
Real project: 4 architectural objects, 2 structural walls, one matched group.

Close is not the same as matching

SiloLink measures the shared volume from both sides. Both must reach your threshold.

From two IFC models to BCF issues

01

Pick the models

Architecture, structure and the element types.

02

Run the check

In the cloud, grouped by type, storey or location.

03

Review in 3D

Confirm, reclassify or mark as irrelevant.

04

Create BCF issues

For Solibri, Revit or any BCF tool.

BCF

See it on your own models

Bring an architecture and a structure IFC. We run the check with you.
