Master Hotlink and IFC Export

Fredrikcastilla

Hi friends!

I'm working with hotlinks and master ID in my project. When exporting to IFC the "name" parameter results in "masterhotlink-ID"+ "Element-ID".
When looking to IFC-property.manager I realize why, but don't know how to fix it.
I need to make some change on "master-export"-basis to make a change for the whole project.
Help please!

From the screenshot, it looks like the "Hotlink and Element ID" parameter is mapped to the "ObjectID" IFC Property.
You can make these mapping in the IFC Translator Dialog. Click the "..." button in the "Property Mapping" field, then click the "Map IFC Properties for Export" button.
Then find the "ObjectID" IFC Property and change the mapping from "Hotlink and Element ID" to "Element ID", which will not include the Master ID of the Hotlink.
