How to insert ifc properties into the mapping rules ?

felcunha — Mon, 12 Oct 2015 05:47:46 GMT

Hello all,

I'm trying to map my IFC elements with rules, and I'm struggling to insert some properties who aren't documented in the objects.
Let me explain : I have to create a IFC file where the name of the objects have specified parameters. Windows, for example, have to show their dimensions (which I can find in the objects properties) but I can't find how to show and insert the number of casements...

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance,

Felipe

Thanks, but I could not find any object's property with tells me how many panels my windows have !! Would someone know where I could fill this information other than putting it manually ?

I don't think this is a piece of data that Windows have available.
You would probably have to modify the Window object's Script, create a new parameter for this and calculate it in the Script. Then you would be able to map that value to an IFC Property.
