This is because you basically would have to be able to identify the subelements of the Library Part and assign those Materials to those subelements. This is not implemented for IFc export.</P> <P>I wonder what would happen if you saved the file under another name, and in that new file you would convert this Library Part to a Morph. Would then the exported IFC contain the data you need?</P> Tue, 24 Jan 2023 19:15:37 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-all-surfaces-to-IFC/m-p/368744#M41877 Laszlo Nagy 2023-01-24T19:15:37Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-all-surfaces-to-IFC/m-p/369260#M41904 <P>wow - that sounds like a crazy work around.<BR />The lamp head was created as an object and added to paramo and the track was created with a morph inside paramo. If the lamp heads have an attached classification and parameters, would the classification and parameters survive the paramo part creation?</P> Tue, 31 Jan 2023 19:25:47 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-all-surfaces-to-IFC/m-p/369260#M41904 gdford 2023-01-31T19:25:47Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-all-surfaces-to-IFC/m-p/369263#M41906 <P>In IFC export you can have classifications and properties. Maybe a property could have a description of quality and quantity parameters of the object.</P> Tue, 31 Jan 2023 19:55:52 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-all-surfaces-to-IFC/m-p/369263#M41906 Botonis 2023-01-31T19:55:52Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-all-surfaces-to-IFC/m-p/369567#M41916 <P>Yes - that would be a solution<BR />thanks</P> Thu, 02 Feb 2023 17:16:15 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Export-all-surfaces-to-IFC/m-p/369567#M41916 gdford 2023-02-02T17:16:15Z
