Hi,
I am importing ifc files into openroads and notice all the elements in an ifc are added to openroads on one level/layer. The importred ifc file has an item type called cad_layer on each element that I need as the level/layer name. Is there a way to automatically change the level/layer name of an element to be the same as the value of an ItemType attached to the same element?
Regards,
Chris
Do you mean, a way to create levels for each cad_layer item type?
That would probably be something for a VBA macro. ORD functions are not included in the VBA library, but regular Microstation ones are.
You would need to get a list of values for that item type, then create a level for each one found, then a way to select the appropriate elements and change them to the proper levels. You might be able to get a head start of that first step with a Microstation report, but I don't know much about that.
There is a dedicated forum for Programming if you are going to try to write something like that.
