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?

No, not really. The projects BIM-manager wanted different colours depending on type of builing-elements (beams, columns, wall).

How does it look in your dgn?
Hello Robert,
which version of OBD you are using?

10.09.01.38
Like this in "Filled hidden line" without geometry maps:
It resembles the IFC2x3 export closest.
Below a screenshot (from an IFC viewer) of one of my "real" projects, exported as IFC4 RV. This is only the structural model, not architectural elements:
Colours of the elements correspond to the level colours (no colour overrides) in OBD. I think this would be what you need, no?
