If I have this unticked while exporting, the Family name will be the parameter Name(Attribute), another IfcLabel, and like wise be assigned to Type name.<BR /> <BR /> Now if I export 3 identical objects, let say doors, they will be gathered in the same family under the same Type name. I verify this by right clicking on the Type and select all.<BR /> <BR /> How can I separate the Family and Type? It seems that they are translated by a single parameter in Archicad hence always having the same name.</T></DIV> Thu, 12 Nov 2015 16:05:58 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-to-Revit-families-and-types/m-p/233628#M29977 Anonymous 2015-11-12T16:05:58Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-to-Revit-families-and-types/m-p/233629#M29978 I would recommend you read this article:<BR /> <BR /> <A href="http://bimblog.bondbryan.com/developing-a-standardised-and-automated-approach-to-ifc-data-fields/" target="_blank"><LINK_TEXT text="http://bimblog.bondbryan.com/developing ... ta-fields/">http://bimblog.bondbryan.com/developing-a-standardised-and-automated-approach-to-ifc-data-fields/</LINK_TEXT></A><BR /> <BR /> I am not myself fully familiar with how creating IFC Door Styles (or Types) using mapping in ARCHICAD will get the result you are after, but it is worth a try.
