IFC Import Dialog Box
IFC link
Select floors and objects to be imported from an IFC model in a dialog box. The contents of the dialog box depends on whether you open the IFC model as a reference geometry or import the IFC model as an object model to the project.
- IFC story, Elevation
- Select the check boxes of the floors that you want to import from the IFC model from the left side list. The height position of the floors is displayed in the Elevation field.
- 3D level to adjust
- The property is available when you import an IFC model as an object model to a project.
- Objects
- Select the object types to be imported from the IFC model from the right side list. Please note that importing doors and windows requires that walls are also imported. If you select windows or doors to be imported, walls will also be selected. If you deselect walls, windows and doors will also be deselected.
- 2D
- The property is available when you import an IFC model as an object model to a project.
- Adjust 3D levels automatically
- The property is available when you import an IFC model as an object model to a project.
- Coordinate import from IFC
- Select the geographical coordinates to be imported from the IFC model into the project:
- Import latitude and longitude
- Import altitude
- Import north direction angle
- Location of the building / Location of the model origin
- You can choose the location from the following options:
- Locate to origin of IFC model: The model is positioned according to the site origin defined in the IFC model. The coordinates show the origin of the imported IFC model relative to the Vertex model origin (0,0,0).
- Locate to site origin of project: The property is available when you import an IFC model as an object model to a project. The option is only available if the site origin has been defined in Vertex.
- Locate to building origin of project: The property is available when you import an IFC model as an object model to a project. The IFC model is positioned to the origin of the Vertex model.
- Locate to point of IFC model: You can use this option in cases where the geometry of the IFC model is very far from the origin of the model. The function searches the point where the x, y, and z coordinates are smallest from the geometry of the IFC model and moves the geometry to the origin of the model using this point as the reference point. You can edit the coordinates of the point in the field. In IFC export, you can move the geometry back to its original location.
- Remove site, building and storey from model structure
- The property is available when you open an IFC model as reference geometry.
