Can you import and search for the 'IfcSurfaceStyle' entity?

Hi,

Does anyone know if you can import and search for the 'IfcSurfaceStyle' entity in Navisworks?

Thanks Much, Ryan

Thank you for your post.  In this case the output side may have defined settings that can help negotiate the transition from the native software (where it is coming from) to Navisworks.  One other alternative would be to export from the other software to the NWC format (native format for Navisworks).  Again there are typically some options of the IFC translation upon exporting from the native software and this may help produce a more favorable result.  I hope this helps.  Thank you.
