Colours of IFC

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

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?

  • We have a different setup here. All existing elements levels are green. And all new elements are coloured based on material (grey for concrete, red for steel etc.) (we are structural engineers so that suits us well in normal cases).

    But now and only for this IFC-export I would like to override the levels colour and set it to something based on element type. I tried level override, and displaystyle with some display rules. It looks great in my model, but the IFC is still based completely on level.
