I am following the AECOsim Building Designer V8i COBie User Guide (rev 15 March 2013) with the aim of adding zone information to spaces as per section 5.2.
I have followed the steps and created zones under the IfcZone catalog type but when I place a space or modify an existing one the IfcZone Name field is not available for editing even though it can be seen as a field in the Datagroup Explorer.
IFC_PROJECT = 2
Thanks, Thomas
ABD SELECT Series 4 0.11.09.593GB Dataset
In addition whilst rooting around in the catalog we have noticed that there is a missing definition for Spaces called TPL_ArchSpace.xsd
I don't know if this is part of the problem
Is there any chance that the TPL_ArchSpaces.xsd is a custom file? I don't seem to have the one here, and I haven't had any issues using the Zone Name property.

Steve,
As you suggest TPL_ArchSpaces was a custom definition that had been erroneously applied to the whole dataset and not just the project in question. Following removal of that from _Dataset_catalogtypeexts.xml in the GB Dataset the IfcZone worked as expected.
Thanks,
Thomas
Perfect! I'm glad it was that simple.... if only all issues could be. :)
