One question about IFC export capabilities

Sama Ill

Hello.
I want to know if I can export an interactive catalog to IFC. So that when I open the IFC in DDSCad Viewer, I can select a line in the catalog and it will be highlighted on the model.

 

Operating system used: Windows 10 20H2

Your question is unclear. What do you mean with a catalog? Just a series of objects put side by side in Archicad? Any IFC-viewer will highlight the object if you select it in the tree panel. And most of them also do the reverse: pick an object in the model and it gets highlighted in the tree. But not sure if this is what you are asking for.

 

E.g. in BIMcollab Zoom, the object gets highlighted in both directions (from model to "navigate" tree and vice-versa).
