Add User-defined Property Sets for an Object

IFC link

Add user-defined property sets to an object in the same way regardless of the object type. You can add user-defined property sets for an object by using the function IFC Property Sets.

  1. Select an object, right-click to open the context-sensitive menu and select the function IFC Property Sets. The “Select Property Sets to Use” dialog box opens.
  2. Click the + button, enter a unique label for the new property set and click OK.

    The Set Name is automatically formed from the property set label by adding the prefix "Pset_” for the label. The property set is shown in the IFC file with the set name. The set name is freely editable.

  3. Add a new property to the property set. Fill in the Property field and select the Reference of the property from the drop-down list. The Value field is automatically filled in according to the selected reference.
  4. In case you selected Fixed value as the reference, fill in the Value field as well.
  5. Finally, click OK.

Values according to the references are directly fetched from the object and they have been updated to the fields next time you return to the “Select Property Sets to Use” dialog box.
