Hi,
Thank you very much for your question! This was a very complex topic, it took us quite some time to get to the bottom of this.
For IFC4, we've implemented a solution that connects Building Material information with the different Components of the element. This solution has even become an IFC4 standard so that all IFC4 models should work like this. However, Solibri can't handle material information with their IFC4 import, and in general, we can say that Solibri's IFC4 compatibility is not very stable at the moment. There is no such thing as IFC4 import certification either, which makes the use of this format still a bit limited in most of the cases.

Best regards,
Minh

Hello,
Thank you for the question!
Could you help me to clarify a bit more about what you would like to achieve here?
As I can see in the previous conversation, the issue was with Solibri's IFC4 compatibility. Are you still having it with Solibri?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Minh

The result of this is that you can in no way add up similar materials in solibri if you happend to model it in a case where it didn't need a composite.
Why? Because the property from Building Element Parts is called "Area" and Archicad will name properties from Elements that had a single element as "Component 1.Area" even though they don't have a Component 2.

Hi!
I've got additional question to this topic. Is there a way to do the same in AC22? 'Explode all elements into parts....' with 'Material Preservation'?
For now, we've got 'Component 1-5' etc.
