1.11 IFC struktur + Layer

BIM (Building Information Modeling) mainly means :

  • 3D models instead of 2D plans
  • work with the IFC interface instead of dxf
  • work with properties instead of hatching and line types


IFC structure:
IFC components have a yellow background and are saved in the IFC structure, which also has a yellow background. Only elements with a yellow background can be included in an IFC export.




Layer:
Elements without IFC type (type IFC "Not defined") have a white background and are placed in layers that also have a white background. By default, these elements are not exported in IFC. To export them, you must activate the option "Export IFC type "not defined"" in the IFC export window "File" "Export" "IFC (BIM) (ifc, ifczip)".



Note:
IFC components can be placed manually in layers via the "Edit" "Layer" menu.
In this case, the layer in which the IFC components are stored is highlighted in red.
