ArchiCAD Properties how to export them to an IFC Model?

We have created an ArchiCAD Property that shows what Fire Rating a wall is rated at. I would like to export this information as data included in the IFC Model. At the moment we are not seeing that data come through. How do I include this in the exported IFC Model?

Is this ARCHICAD 21 or an earlier version?

I maybe wrong but the only thing that looks like a way of exporting the ArchiCAD Properties is to manually go through the IFC Translator mapping settings and add the Property to each type of IFC Element.

It's taken an hour and half so to do. I was hoping there was a nice button that would do it for me

Yes, in the Property Mapping Dialog of the IFC Translators Dialog you can map individual Properties to individual IFC Properties.
Additionally, you can set various options in the Data Conversion Dialog of the IFC Translators Dialog to control what kind of Properties get exported and how. Maybe you need the "Properties as IFC Properties" checkbox, maybe some other checkbox. You need to study all those options to be able to select the one that best fits your purpose.
