is there a way to call up the Surfaces in the Doors / Windows for their respective schedules & even with the Label tool?
we've set up some Properties with Expressions that call up the Surfaces & use split commands to only call up the code (encircled in blue). is it possible for this to be called up in Schedules & the Label tool?
I've heard it was possible to use IFC Property Mapping -- i tried it once but it didn't come out correctly & i'd like to know how to do it properly if this is the correct way to do it.
Operating system used: Windows 11 24H2
As my last day in the office 2024! I should contribute something meaningful to the Archicad community. Below, you'll find instructions for calling split GDL parameters using custom IFC properties.
Step 1: Access the IFC Translator
(Menu > File > Interoperability > IFC > IFC Translator)
Open the **IFC Translator** and select the default export option (indicated by the Archicad logo).
Step 2: Create a New IFC Property
1. Follow the arrow and create a new IFC Property(s)
2. Add a new rule and include library parameters
- Most Archicad generic elements share similar GDL parameters.
- Select a door element from your project as a reference and transfer its properties to the right column.
Step 3: Define and Edit the Splitting Rule
1. Highlight the content of the rule and click
2. In our office workflow, we append the finish code to the end of the surface name, using ":" as the separator.
- In your case, since your codes are at the start of the surface name, choose *"start"* instead.
Step 4: Finalising and Using IFC Values
That’s it! Archicad’s out-of-the-box labels, classifications, and properties will now allow you to tag IFC values and include them in schedules effortlessly.
it would be great to access IFC properties from properties and use expression to control the data right? or even from GO...
I hope these instructions help! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy new year to all Community users!
