Bimspot.Bcf.Converter 0.0.1

This C# NuGet library allows you to easily build up and convert data into BCF files. It gives you a straightforward API to build your BCF objects exactly how you want in your order.

Installation

You can install the BcfConverter library via NuGet Package Manager or by adding it to your project's .csproj file.

nuget install BCFConverter

Usage

Creating BCF objects

To create a BCF Model, you can use the BuilderCreator class to obtain a builder object. Then, you can use various functions provided by the builder to fulfill the BCF model objects.

IMPORTANT: The builder always uses the latest (BCF 3.0) models.

Here's an example:

using BCFConverter;

// Create a markup builder
var markupBuilder = BuilderCreator.CreateMarkupBuilder();

// Build the BCF Markup
var bcfMarkup = markupBuilder
    .AddTitle("Simple title")
    .AddDescription("This is a description")
    .AddLabel("Architecture")
    .AddPriority("Critical")
    .AddTopicType("Clash")
    .AddTopicStatus("Active")
    .AddComment(c => c
        .AddComment("This is a comment")
        .AddDate(DateTime.Now)
        .AddAuthor("jimmy@page.com"))
    .AddViewPoint(v => v
        .AddPerspectiveCamera(pCam => pCam
            .AddCamera(cam => cam
                .AddViewPoint(10, 10, 10))),
        snapshotData) // Provide snapshot data here
    .Build();

// Create a project builder
var projectBuilder = BuilderCreator.CreateProjectBuilder();

// Build the BCF Project
var project = projectBuilder
    .AddProjectId("projectId")
    .AddProjectName("My project")
    .Build();
    
// Create a document builder
var documentBuilder = BuilderCreator.CreateDocumentBuilder();

// Build the BCF Document
var document = builder
    .AddDocument(d => d
    .AddFileName("document.pdf")
    .AddDescription("This is a document"))
    .Build();

// Create an extensions builder
var extBuilder = BuilderCreator.CreateExtensionsBuilder();

// Build the BCF Extensions
var extensions = builder
    .AddPriority("Critical")
    .AddPriority("Major")
    .AddPriority("Normal")
    .AddPriority("Minor")
    .AddTopicType("Issue")
    .AddTopicType("Fault")
    .AddTopicType("Clash")
    .AddTopicType("Remark")
    .AddTopicLabel("Architecture")
    .AddTopicLabel("Structure")
    .AddTopicLabel("MEP")
    .Build();
