Flexible Mappings

IFC Export User Guide

Flexible Mappings

The mapping file contains the information about how the data is exported to an IFC file, primarily the element types and their attributes that need to be exported.

The following information can also be specified:

•

Which E3D element corresponds to which IFC class

•

Create a Property Set

•

Create property mappings for each property set.

A configuration can be created, modified or deleted using the functionality available from IFC Mappings window and may be used for any number of exports.

IFC Export is supplied with a sample configuration based on the APS sample project. This configuration can be modified according to requirements, refer to Create/Modify a Configuration for more information.

Note:

Note: The configuration file is validated against the mapping schema to warn user against any error (syntax error or incorrect mapping file).
