On the back of the other post

I colour code all the structurals in the model....great

BUT

How do I translate these out to an IFC file usimg the graphic override colours?

I am not an IFC user (so I may be wrong here), but I don't believe IFC files have Graphic Overrides.

And as it is just an override in Archicad, (not actually changing the surfaces), IFC will know nothing about it.

You would need to actually change the surfaces or building materials or add a property that IFC can recognise.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I realize the materials are applied in Archicad, and IFC is very basic but I'm asking if there is a way to hardwire the substituted materials applied by graphic overrides to model outputs as of course, even though there are no graphic overrides in BIMx, it still honors the colors seen in the 3d window at publish time.
