Vertex Property Sets

Only the property sets that are suitable for the object type in question are shown in the dialog box by default. You can view all property sets by selecting Show All Sets in the dialog box.

Select the property sets and click OK.

Vertex property sets included in the standard environment of the software have the title ifc_property_sets in the dialog box. If there are customer-specific Vertex property sets in the software environment, they have the title ifc_property_set_cst.

User-defined Property Sets

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. In case you selected Fixed value as the reference, fill in the Value field as well.
  4. 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.
