Building Material (ALL) values on a Property in Property Manager

davdelven — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 05:12:02 GMT

Does someone remember if there is a way to create a property within the "Property Manager" that renders the same set of values as the ones using the "Building Material (ALL)" parameter within the Schedule feature?

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hi David, the "Building Materials (ALL)" general parameter is not available directly in properties.

But it is available in the IFC Property Mapping for the translators, so you can create a mapping rule for each element, see below:

Thanks, Jaime!

I totally forgot that workaround... even having spent hundreds of hours in the past mapping properties using the translators.

I hope a more robust harmonization and automation is implemented in the future.

This is almost good, but here comes the next step:
I would like to split the ; separated string into bullet point list.

Any idea how to do that?

Basically I would like to do a wall type list and list the wall buildup (building materials) as a bullet point list, simply because this ; separated list is very hard to read.

Any help would be much appreciated.
