View Changes - Incorrect comparation

Help Developers
1

Hello Team,

I know that the “View Changes” feature is still in an experimental phase, but the comparison between these two connections seems incorrect.

The only difference between the two models is in the stiffener; one model has only one, and the other has two.

Here’s the project so you can see what’s happening.

Btw, the color scheme of the steel connection detail are really beautiful.

This being a generic solution to diffing, it’s for sure it misses out on meaning/intent in some (many) cases, so treat it as such. Thanks for your praise as well, btw :heart:

From what i see:

  • sources are IFC uploads: i’m not sure that we set the application id consistently throughout - it’s actually not, see third bullet point
  • randomly, graphically: you get the gist, one clearly red (removed) and two clearly green (added)
  • we don’t have a a clear applicationId (which we use for diffing, together with the hash/id)

We would get a legitimate diff if we’d use the ExpressId for application Ids. cc @Christopher_Diggins and @gokermu for visibility and that someone remembers this! I can’t promise a timeline for a fix unfortunately @amagro…
