Edit the Customer-specific IFC Conversion Rule Library

As a system administrator, you can save rules for converting IFC objects to Vertex BD objects in a customer-specific conversion rule library. The rules are available in all buildings. If you do not have system administrator privileges, you can save the rule in a building-specific library.

After you have defined the conversion rules, you can convert IFC objects using Convert IFC Objects to Vertex Objects or Convert the Selected IFC Object to a Vertex Object.
