Visual model review for individuals and small teams. Open and combine multiple IFC models, walk the model in 3D, inspect properties and classifications, raise issues in BCF. The entry tier of the Solibri product family.
What Starter solves
Three recurring needs at the entry of BIM coordination. Open any item to see how Starter handles it.
You receive IFC models from architects, engineers, and contractors and you need to look at them, not edit them. An authoring tool license is overkill, a generic viewer is too thin. Starter opens IFC natively, walks the model in 3D, and shows the data inside it.
The coordination team checks models in Essential, Advanced, or Premium. You need to see the results, open the issues, comment on them, and contribute to the BCF flow without holding a full checking license. Starter lets you do all of that.
Before you sign off on a model or hand it down the chain, you want to verify the data inside it. Object types, materials, classifications, dimensions. Starter exposes all of it with one-click inspection.
What's in Starter?
Three concrete capabilities. The full feature comparison across all five Solibri tiers lives on the parent page.
IFC viewing and combination
Open IFC files from any authoring tool. Combine multi-discipline models into one federated view. Walk the 3D model with full navigation.
Property and classification inspection
Click any object to see its properties, materials, classifications, and dimensions. Verify the data inside the model before passing the work on.
BCF issue exchange
Open BCF issues created in Essential, Advanced, or Premium. Add comments, attach views, and contribute to the coordination flow. Standard BCF compatible with every major BIM tool.
Pricing where you buy
Solibri prices vary by market. Pick your country to see current pricing for Starter. Buying through Nordic BIM Group includes implementation support to fit Solibri to your standards.
Who Starter is for
Individual reviewers and small teams who need to open IFC, walk the model, and raise issues. Architects new to BIM coordination, junior engineers, project members joining a coordination flow without owning rule authoring. Anyone who needs to see the model and participate, but does not yet need to run rule-based checks.
If your team is moving past visual review into structured coordination, Essential is the next step.
Ready for team coordination?
Essential adds rule-based model checking, federated model management, and CDE integrations. The tier where self-checking becomes routine.

Named only. The license is tied to one specific user. Starter does not offer a Floating license; Essential, Advanced, and Premium do.
Starter is for model review. You open IFC, walk the model, inspect data, and participate in BCF flow. Essential adds the checking capability: predefined rule-based model checking, federated multi-discipline model management, CDE integrations with Forma, BIM 360, Procore, and others, plus structured BCF flow.
Yes. All four tiers belong to the same toolchain. You can move from Starter to Essential, Advanced, or Premium as the work grows. Solibri Security+ is a parallel product for air-gapped environments, not an upgrade path from Starter.
