Hi
I'm trying to export a DGN to IFC with some modifications to the elements colours. I found this thread on the subject:https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/217732/maintaining-materials-colours-when-exporting-dgn-to-ifc/667233#667233
Alifur Mandal says that "Till now, if we export a dgn file to IFC, only wireframe colors will be visible in the IFC. None of the material color will be visible in the IFC. If in DGN file, in the wireframe mode it is red, the IFC material color will be red, if it would be green in dgn wireframe then it will be green in the IFC file"
In my DGN i have level override on and set to display certain levels to red:
But they are exported as green anyway (The levels original colour):
So, is there any other way to change the colour of an IFC-element without changing the levels colour?

Hello Robert,
The community thread you are referring is an older thread when there was no support for material color to export to IFC so by default takes the color from Parts. Now after Update 9, OBD is able to export material colors to IFC. Please see the below image. The textures are not being exported to IFC yet.
Regards,Alifur
Also, I wasn't able to export IFC with the material either, is there any configuration variables I need to set, or anything else I have to do?
which version of OBD you are using?
