    Hey,
    Im trying too use a hyperlink in the IFC so it can be opned by solibri. When using a IfcText parameter it works but the hyperlink can only contain the path to the document.
    Is it possible to map a hyperlink to a parameter value? or have a text first then the value in a way.

    The picture explains how i want it.

    If i can manage this it will help me a LOT!

    I am using the IFCopenShell to edit these parameters

    It's a valid question but ultimately I don't think it's related to IfcOpenShell or IFC. It's about how Solibri chose to implement the detection of URI components in property fields. Apparently they chose to only match entire strings and not subtrings. You can better check this with their forums / customer support. There is nothing in the IFC specification (unfortunately) that governs how property text can be formatted based on external references and likely every viewer implementation will handle it differently.

    Kind regards,
    Thomas
