Inspect the GUIDs

Internally, GUIDs are stored as four integer values on a UUIDIA attribute, these values can be inspected directly using the command:

QUERY UUIDIA:

Uuidia 515327685 300389338 1138094989 250557773

These integers can also be displayed as an IFC GUID window.

QUERY IFCUID:

IFCUid 0UjqR54UUJsaFLyuqExpLD

The format is useful to allow the coordination between entities in AVEVA E3D design, the IFC file and the source or target package.

IFCUID (and MSGUID) can also be queried with a text qualifier. This is used internally, for example, to generate GUIDs for implied tube.

QUERY IFCUID IFCUID(|alpha|) IFCUID(|beta|)

IFCUid 2_txbIALTD$AFugVkoK3oz

IFCUid 2f5A02K99JGxTO9_pPrVzu
