Support for Models with Multiple Links and Repetitive Instances in Speckle

Hi Speckle Community,

I’m currently exploring the capabilities of the new connector and would like to share a practical use case to get some guidance:

  1. Context:
    Most of the projects I work on in LATAM involve structural units that repeat multiple times (e.g., modular buildings or housing units). This means each project includes models with multiple links and many repetitive instances.
  2. Need:
    To implement effective 4D and 5D solutions (time and cost management), it’s essential that all models, along with their links and instances, can be properly loaded. This directly impacts the quality of coordination and analysis.
  3. Issue:
    I’ve been trying to set up these types of projects using the new connector, but I haven’t found an effective way to manage this complexity (models with multiple links and many repetitive instances).
  4. Question:
    Is there a current solution or a planned functionality to support this use case? If not, are there any alternatives or workarounds you would recommend for managing such models?

I’d be happy to join the discussion here and share more details about how these cases arise in practice. I really appreciate any insights or tips you might have!

Best regards,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,

This is on our backlog and we’ll definitely implement a solution at some point. Apologies but there is no workaround available atm.
