Edit the Vertex Property Set Library

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

1. Select System | IFC Property Sets, and move the cursor to the folder pane of the browser.
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 property sets area in the right side browser pane, 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 click OK to open the Properties dialog box.

   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. Select an object type from the Type of objects list. If you intend to use the property set for walls, for example, select Wall as the type of objects. This selection filters only options suitable for the selected type to the 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 list. The fields Value and Type are automatically filled in when you select the reference.
8. Finally, save the changes by clicking OK.
