We are investigating communicating between a Haystack system (SkySpark) and a RealEstateCore system (Azure Digital Twins) and I can't find much information about if anyone has worked on some conversion between the two. It seems the conversion between Brick and RealEstateCore is fairly trivial, so a conversion between Haystack and Brick might also help.
Does anyone here know of any existing tooling or documentation on this topic?
Any info is much appreciated!

From my understanding RealEstateCore is deferring equip/point modeling to use Brick. So its really more about conversion of Haystack to Brick (which is an ongoing project, just prototypes at the moment though)

Equip/point is indeed delegated to Brick, but the rest of the building (like sites, floors and rooms) are defined in RealEstateCore without Brick.
But judging from your answer there is not much progress on either area I guess. Thanks for the update though!

Chris, You might try looking at this: https://github.com/gtfierro/taglib-experiments/blob/main/README.md There have been some conversations with the BRICK team about these conversion potentials and this documentation was the prototype.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the information!
Unfortunately "painfully incomplete" (from the docs) quite sums up the status of this project, but at least it's a start!
