USE CASE

Auto-validate your IFC, free

Run a structural and attribute pass on your model before you ship it for review. Built-in rules plus your own required-property / range / equality rules — no DSL, no plugin.

Run Validation summary by severity

Catch the issues before someone else does

"FireRating missing on three walls" or "two storeys at the same elevation" are the kind of findings that turn a design review into a back-and-forth. Bimly's Validation finds them before the file leaves your hands.

Add project-specific user-defined rules on top of the built-ins. Mandate certain properties, set numeric ranges, require specific values — without writing any code.

What Validation catches

The integrity issues you want gone before review

More capabilities

Bimly does more than just one thing

Not just a viewer. Author, review, validate, and share architectural BIM — entirely in the browser.

Common questions

Which built-in rules ship by default?
Storey integrity (duplicate elevation, missing storey), opening host validation (missing / archived host wall, position out of range, exceeds wall height), unassigned-storey elements, and dimensional sanity. See the FAQ for the full list.
How do I add my own rules?
Open Validation Rules from the project detail page and create a property_required, property_range, or property_equals rule. Examples: 'every Wall must have FireRating' or 'Slab Thickness must be between 100 and 300 mm'.
Can it run on a schedule?
Manual Run Validation only today. Scheduled runs and Operation-triggered runs are on the roadmap.
Does Bimly do clash detection like Solibri?
Geometric clash detection is now supported: overlay several models (architecture, structure, MEP) and Bimly finds where elements actually intersect, which you can turn into tracked issues — this is separate from Validation. It doesn't yet match Solibri's advanced MEP-specific rules, soft (clearance) clashes, or large-model coverage, so pair it with a dedicated tool if you need that depth.
What's free?
Validation itself is unlimited on Free. The AI-explain button shares the daily 30-call AI quota (along with Search / Suggest).
