Settings & Configuration Profiles

Purpose

The Settings module manages the rule configurations, parameter tolerances, and asset metadata applied across your projects. Different projects, clients, and building typologies enforce different statutory rules; an acute hospital demands HBN/HTM clinical space and fire door standards, whereas a high-speed rail viaduct requires kinematic gauge and 25kV OLE clearances.

BIM Checker uses a Scoped Configuration Architecture that allows organizations to define reusable statutory profiles, share them across enterprise teams, and override specific numerical thresholds without code changes.

Configuration Scopes

Every configuration profile in BIM Checker is governed by a strict multi-tenant scope:

1. Public Scope (public: true):
   • Universal statutory baseline profiles provided out-of-the-box (e.g. Hospital, HS2 High Speed Rail, Highways BD 37/01).
   • Available to all authenticated users across all projects.
2. Domain Scope (scope.domain):
   • Organization-wide configurations visible exclusively to users belonging to your corporate domain (e.g. @candcconsulting.co.uk or @nhs.net).
   • Ensures proprietary design guidelines and corporate QA policies are automatically accessible across all corporate projects.
3. iTwin Scope (scope.iTwin):
   • Project-isolated configurations bound directly to specific Bentley iTwin project containers.
   • Ideal for client-mandated Project Information Requirements (PIR) and Exchange Information Requirements (EIR).

Single Active Configuration Paradigm

To prevent audit confusion and conflicting compliance scores:

• Exactly one configuration profile is active for an iModel audit session at any given time.
• The active configuration determines:
  • The active set of Model Quality Indicators shown on the Quality tab.
  • The statutory BIM Requirements Rules evaluated in the 3D Workbench.
  • The linked Asset Register Preset (e.g., contractual GFA targets, coordinates, and storey count).

Managing Configurations & Parameter Overrides

Creating a New Configuration

1. Navigate to Settings from the main navigation.
2. Click Add Configuration.
3. Enter a descriptive title (e.g., St. Jude Children's Hospital Phase 2).
4. Select the base template (e.g. Hospital).
5. Specify the target Scope (Domain or iTwin).
6. Click Save.

Overriding Parameters

• Within any configuration, expand individual rules to customize parameters:
  • Change nominalThreshold (e.g., tighten minimum corridor width from $2.00\text{m}$ to $2.20\text{m}$).
  • Adjust warningBuffer (e.g., set warning alert threshold to $0.15\text{m}$).
  • Modify whereClause filters to accommodate bespoke contractor naming prefixes.
• If a parameter field is left blank, BIM Checker automatically falls back to the default statutory baseline.

White-Label Branding

Enterprise license holders can customize the application interface:

• Client Logo: Upload custom SVGs or PNGs to replace default system branding in the top navigation and printable audit reports.
• Theme Accents: Align brand colors with client corporate design systems.
• Assurance Certificates: Customise legal disclaimers and sign-off declarations on exported compliance certificates.
