    <description>This can be done by defining a Mapping Rule for your IFC Custom Property.&lt;BR /&gt;
Do it the following way:&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
1.  Open the File\Interoperability\IFC\IFC Translators Dialog.&lt;BR /&gt;
2.  Click the "..." button the right of the Property Mapping field.&lt;BR /&gt;
3. Click the "Map IFC Properties for Export" button.&lt;BR /&gt;
4. Select the "IfcWall" item in the left pane. Then select the IFC Property in the middle pane.&lt;BR /&gt;
5. In the upper part of the right pane, click the "New Rule" button.&lt;BR /&gt;
6. At the bottom of the right pane, click the "Add Content" button, and select the "Wall&amp;gt;General&amp;gt;Layer" item from the list of possible element parameters.&lt;BR /&gt;
7. Accept changes. If you did everything right, when you go back to the Wall Settings Dialog the IFC Property should inherit the Layer.</description>

      <title>Mapping the layer value to an object?</title>
      <link>https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Mapping-the-layer-value-to-an-object/m-p/282351#M14839</link>
      <description>&lt;DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"&gt;So this is what I need to accomplish: I need to somehow map the number defined by an objects layer to a Pset I have created. I need this to happen automaticly. Say, if I create an object,that by norwegian standard is on layer 287. I want 287 to appear in the premade property, displayed by Ctrl-T. &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Anyone got any suggestion?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;.Thnx&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>
