Can someone explain what the options below are for in the IFC export dialog box. The help file isnt detailed enough.
Comment TAB
Project. - This seeems to want to point to a file, but what file and where. What purpose is it?
Building - As above
Site - As above
Or is this just simple text that relates to the file your exporting?
Yes, the IFC2x3 Dataset Extensions are still valid, work in conjunction with AECOsim Building Designer datasets, and can be downloaded from Product Line: 'Building Analysis and Design' and Download Category 'Enhancements and Updates'.
If shapes with instance data for Project, Site and Building are found, then those property values are exported; otherwise just the strings on the 'Comment' tab for Project, Site and Building are exported without any property values. In that case, the message in the Message center says: No shapes found for Project, Site and Building, which is informational, not an error message.
FYI. We plan to improve spatial containment in the Building Designer refresh release.

I believe so, have not heard otherwise.

I have checked the AECOsim GB dataset and the extensions are not included. Looking on the Select site the download file is dated 14th may 2010. is this the latest available?

I'be not tried it but there is config that can be switched on the the delivered GB dataset so I'd guess yes.
I was about to post a question, but I assume from this answer that the IFC2x3 extension is still valid in AECOsim?
