Pens of imported IFC models

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

I would like to assign IFCs that I merge with the model to have a specific pen in 2D. That way I can easily see the difference between all MEP and HVAC disciplins with a pen set.

Is there a way or method for doing this or can this only be done by the part that exports the IFC?

I don't see a way of setting the program to do this automatically.
You would have to do this manually.
If you do that, it may be a good idea to open the IFC in a separate ArchiCAD instance, make the necessary changes to the 2D representation of imported IFC elements, then merge that file to your project file. Or place it as a Hotlinked Module.
