Edit the Vertex Property Set Library

IFC link

You can add new, customer-specific Vertex property sets to the IFC property set library.

  1. Select System | IFC Proprety Sets, and move the cursor to the folder section of the libraries.
  2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select New Library.
  3. Enter a name for the library, and select OK.
  4. Move the cursor to the section of the property sets, right-click to open the context-sensitive menu and select New.
  5. Define a label for the new property set in the “Setting Name?” Dialog box and select OK. The “Properties” dialog box opens.

    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.

  6. In the “Properties” dialog box, select the Type of objects from the drop-down list. If you intend to use the property set for walls, select Wall as the type of objects. This selection filters only options suitable for the selected type to the drop-down list of the Reference field.
  7. Add a new property to the property set by typing the name of the property in the Property field. Select the Reference describing the property from the drop-down list. The fields Value and Type are automatically filled in when you select the reference.
  8. Finally, save the changes by clicking OK.

Note

  • You can return to edit the property set. Double-click the property set in the section of the property sets, or select the property set, right-click to open the context-sensitive menu and select Edit.
  • You can change the property set label. Select the property set in the property set section, right-click to open the context-sensitive menu and select Rename. Renaming does not affect the set name which is used to present the property set in the IFC file. You can change the set name in the properties of the property set.
  • You can remove a property set by selecting the set and then Delete from the context-sensitive menu.
  • If you want to remove a single property from a property set, clear the name of the property from the field Property. The row in question will be removed automatically.
