 I&amp;#39;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</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Colours of IFC</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/730967?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Sep 2022 09:26:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:00e14f02-6600-4056-913e-ac4cf28868a4</guid><dc:creator>Johan De Cock</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Sounds like the recent added feature in MS U17 &lt;a href="https://microstation.ideas.aha.io/ideas/MS-I-154"&gt;Convert Display Rules to DWG | MicroStation Ideas Portal (aha.io)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe you could post a similar idea &amp;quot;Convert Display Rules to IFC&amp;quot; in the &lt;a href="https://openbuildings.ideas.aha.io/"&gt;OpenBuildings Designer Ideas Portal (aha.io)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Colours of IFC</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/730949?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Sep 2022 08:12:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f16fc59f-d3a5-4ca8-bf97-99a7435774dd</guid><dc:creator>Robert H&amp;#246;gberg</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;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). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Colours of IFC</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/730730?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2022 11:48:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e26e084d-d516-487e-ad7d-0cccf6c75774</guid><dc:creator>Johan De Cock</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Like this in &amp;quot;Filled hidden line&amp;quot; without geometry maps:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It resembles the IFC2x3 export closest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below a screenshot (from an IFC viewer) of one of my &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; projects, exported as IFC4 RV. This is only the structural model, not architectural elements:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Colours of the elements correspond to the level colours (no colour overrides) in OBD. I think this would be what you need, no?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Colours of IFC</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/730729?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2022 11:30:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:85ba624c-7c07-4d5c-b617-462adbddb0ec</guid><dc:creator>Robert H&amp;#246;gberg</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="1018696" url="~/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/235223/colours-of-ifc/730726"]which version of OBD you are using?[/quote]

&lt;p&gt;How does it look in your dgn?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Colours of IFC</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/730720?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2022 11:16:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:bbe5e60b-a54b-4b34-ab31-047fca55fab0</guid><dc:creator>Robert H&amp;#246;gberg</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="1018696" url="~/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/235223/colours-of-ifc/730717"]I hope this is what you want as an outcome.&amp;nbsp;[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;No, not really. The projects BIM-manager wanted different colours depending on type of builing-elements (beams, columns, wall).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Colours of IFC</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/730719?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2022 11:12:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b6a612f2-4fd9-4136-865c-cc49dc0f3214</guid><dc:creator>Johan De Cock</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;In my experience&amp;nbsp;it also depends on the type of IFC export. I once made a comparison of the same model exported as IFC2x3 CV2.0, IFC4 RV and IFC4 DTV (from left to right in the picture below). As you&amp;#39;ll see the colours are not always exported in the same way. This was done in U9 when it just came out:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As you can see in the below image, if you use OBD update 9 then a wall &amp;amp; window assembly would look something like this, which is easily distinguishable. Also if the material of the window is glass then it would have transparency too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I hope this is what you want as an outcome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although, I just wanted to export to IFC with my level override colours, or change the colors some other way. As the case was in the other tread, I&amp;#39;m not after the material colour. I only saw your comment that IFC is exported as it looks like in wireframe, but I didn&amp;#39;t get that to work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, is there another way to change the colours?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Colours of IFC</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/730711?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2022 10:50:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:87c78c61-bb59-4539-8d97-f9bce5e9a9a7</guid><dc:creator>Alifur Mandal</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Robert,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
