Description

MI ERP BIM is the real, internationally pure Building Information Modeling core for Odoo 19, rendered as a section under the MI ERP Construction application. It covers the full Open BIM lifecycle: IFC import via IfcOpenShell, in-form 3D viewing with xeokit-sdk, BCF 2.1 issue tracking with viewpoints and round-trip, geometric clash detection between disciplinary models, and full ISO 19650 compliance (roles, classifications, LOIN levels, EIR / BEP, CDE workflow).

Every IFC element is parsed and stored as an Odoo record with its GUID, property sets and quantities — so they can be linked back to the APU concepts in mierp_construction for automatic 5D measurement traceability. Models are streamed to the browser as XKT through bearer-authenticated REST endpoints, so the viewer works behind any reverse proxy without CDN dependencies.

Product screenshots

Real screenshots from the module running on Odoo 19 with seeded IFC fixtures (Architecture, Structural and HVAC), captured by the Playwright audit suite.

In-form xeokit 3D viewer — OTC Conference Center (6,556 elements)

Solibri-style light theme with MI ERP orange accents. The viewer automatically detects Y-up vs Z-up models, frames the AABB on load, and ships Fit / Top / Iso / Clear camera presets. XKT streams from /api/v1/mierp/bim/model/<id>/xkt through bearer auth, so it works offline-friendly behind any reverse proxy. Click any element to surface its property sets and quantities in the side panel.

BIM Projects

One BIM project per construction work — auto-linked to the parent mierp.construction.work record so quantities flow back into the budget.

Federated models

Versioned IFC models per discipline (Architecture, Structural, HVAC…) with SHA-256 hash, parsed elements count and CDE state.

Residential model — Schependomlaan (3,510 elements)

Reference IFC4 residential building: brick walls, mansard roof, bay windows. Camera framed automatically with the model's AABB and Z-up auto-detection.

Structural model

Federated structural IFC: columns, beams and slabs rendered side-by-side with the architectural model for clash detection.

HVAC model

MEP/HVAC ductwork with IfcDuctSegment, IfcAirTerminal, etc. Also exposed as picking targets for issue creation.

BCF 2.1 Issues

BCF round-trip import / export. Issues kanban with status, priority, assigned reviewer and the originating BIM viewpoint.

Element property sets & quantities

Every IFC element is a first-class Odoo record with GUID, type, storey, material, all Pset_* properties and BaseQuantities.

BIM model form — IFC ingest + XKT + viewer in one tab

One form per IFC model: project link, discipline, version, SHA-256 hash, IFC schema, parsed elements count, CDE state, generated XKT and the embedded 3D viewer all in the same page.

BIM Execution Plan

ISO 19650 BEP / EIR records with sections, deliverables and assigned roles. WeasyPrint renders a branded PDF for kickoff sign-off.

Disciplines

Universal taxonomy: Architecture, Structure, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical… Used to federate models and drive the clash matrix.

ISO 19650 roles

Pre-loaded ISO 19650 roles (Information Manager, Lead Appointed Party, Task Information Manager…) attachable to projects and BEP records.

BIM under Construction

Not a separate app: BIM lives as a submenu under mierp_construction so estimators and BIM coordinators share one workspace.

Core features

Localizations (auto-install)

The BIM core is country-neutral. Country-specific classifications, BEP templates and regulatory checklists ship as auto-installable sibling modules.

Typical workflow

Project kickoff

1. Open the construction work and create its BIM project from the stat button.
2. Define disciplines, ISO 19650 roles and the LOIN per deliverable.
3. Import the EIR / BEP and render the PDF for the appointing party.

Federation & review

1. Upload IFC files per discipline — IfcOpenShell parses them in the background.
2. Open any model in the in-form xeokit viewer; click elements for Pset / quantity details.
3. Run clash detection between disciplinary pairs; promote clashes to BCF issues.
4. Round-trip BCF with reviewers (Solibri, BIMcollab, Trimble Connect…).

Construction handoff

1. Map element classifications to APU concepts in mierp_construction.
2. BIM quantities flow into 2D measurements for the budget.
3. Move models through the CDE: WIP → Shared → Published → Archived.

Technical details

• Main models: mierp.bim.project, model, element, pset, quantity, issue, clash, bep, eir, discipline, role, loin, classification.
• Viewer: OWL 2 field widget (widget="bim_viewer") with vendored xeokit-sdk 2.6.108 ESM bundle under static/lib/xeokit/.
• IFC → XKT conversion via the xeokit-convert Node CLI; backend caches the XKT and serves it through a bearer-authenticated controller.
• JSON-RPC endpoints under /api/v1/mierp/bim/* for elements, models, classifications and BCF round-trip.
• BEP PDF rendered with WeasyPrint and MI ERP branding.
• Test suite: 20 Odoo unit tests + 19 Playwright E2E tests, 72 % coverage.
• Compatible with Odoo Enterprise and Community.
• Depends on: base, mail, project, mierp_construction.
