8.5.6. Incorrect profile when importing Sikla profiles (HEA-100 is imported)

This guide describes how to resolve an import problem with Sikla profiles in Plant 3D, where an HEA-100 profile is incorrectly loaded instead of the desired component. The cause lies in incorrect user mappings within the database that must be corrected.

Prerequisites

Access to the Management Tools of Plant 3D / Advance Steel.
Administrative permissions for the project database.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Open Management Tools
Start the Plant 3D Management Tools and select the corresponding project database where the import problem is occurring.
Check Tables
Navigate to the Table Editor and identify the existing incorrect mapping in the relevant tables. Specifically examine the tables UserMapping and ProfileMapping.
Remove Incorrect Mapping
Find and delete the incorrect entry that redirects the Sikla profiles to the HEA-100. Save the changes and close the database.
Re-import Profile
Restart the import of the Sikla profiles. The system should now adopt the correct profiles without incorrect assignment.

Expected Result: The Sikla profiles are displayed in Plant 3D with their correct geometry and designation.

Important Notes

Check before every import whether User Mappings already exist in the database to avoid conflicts.
Only use clear and verified mappings.
Best Practice: Always create a backup of the database before making manual changes to the mapping tables.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Profile continues to be imported incorrectly despite deletion.
Solution: Restart Plant 3D to ensure that the database caches are cleared and the changes from the Management Tools are active.
