Is there a good way to validate an IFC4 file against an MVDXML file (the DTV, in my case) without going to the trouble & expense of filing for certification? It seems like there ought to be some tools out there that check this, but I can’t find any.
Simplebim claims to do this, but it refuses to read in either the RV or DTV mvdxml files from BSI, claiming that the files have unspecified errors. Are there any other options?
That plugin looks useful on the surface, but it actually dies with an error when you try to import any of the bSI mvdXML files. Talking with Simplebim’s customer support revealed that the plugin was written for a proprietary version of mvdXML that is incompatible with bSI’s version. Without a financial incentive to do so, they have no plans to support bSI’s version in the foreseeable future.
I still haven’t found any standalone programs that can validate an IFC4 file against a bSI mvdXML file.
