Incomplete property sets when exporting to IFC and COBie.
Open the V8i Project Configuration File or the CONNECT Edition WorkSet CFG file for the project(s) concerned using a text editor (such as Notepad++), scroll to the bottom of the file and set the value of the variable IFC_PROJECT (for V8i) or IFC_WORKSET (for CONNECT Edition) to include the appropriate property sets.
It is advisable to set this at the outset of a project so any of the properties that will be needed in later stage exports can be set early on. If additional property sets are included later in a project there may need to be an additional review of existing element properties to check for omissions.
The available settings (CONNECT Edition shown, V8i has identical option/values for the IFC_PROJECT variable) are:
The default setting is delivered as IFC_WORKSET =0 to avoid IFC specific properties taking up space in the user interface when they are not needed.
