Hi
I'm trying to get the classification description in my IFC.
I've placed a file called IFC_mapping_overrides.set in my workset's settings-folder. In that file I've placed a few properties which I get to show up in my IFC, but the description doesn't work.
As seen, I work with BSAB, a Swedish system. If I check the definition editor under Objectclassification I can only see the BSAB property, not the description:
But in element properties I can see the property:
Not really sure how all that comes together in the IFC-export. Have I named the property wrong in the IFC_mapping_overrides.set-file? What should it be in that case?
Or is there something else needed, since the property don't show in the definition editor?
Regards,
Robert
Hi Robert,
I would suggest you to please go through this wiki and see whether things are pointed to the right location. Please let us know whether this has been of help.Thanks & Regards!
Thanks. I followed your advice.
But the BSAB description can not be found in the list of properties. Even though I see it in the properties to my right.
I have to get this description exported in my delivery next week, hope you can help me solve this!
Thanks
Yes, exactly, but in my own pset.
OK, thanks for confirming. Since this property is part of the Classification system it displays in the Classification tab. Is there a specific use-case for "moving" it to another property group/tab?
Simple answer is because the customer wants it delivered that way. Now we had to copy that text for all elements from the description to another property, that can be remapped. Not a good workflow for a project with thousands of elements.
OK, thanks for clarifying. On the surface it seems to be a unique request, wanting to see the classification data outside of the dedicated classification tab, but I understand it is what the customer wants.
I am curious whether anyone else reading this thread has ever had the need to display a property outside of its default location, and if so, if they were successful.
In Sweden it's common to gather all information you want from the model under just one pset. This also goes for what's becoming standard in Sweden right now called BIP-codes.
