IFC-export Swing Door Operator

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 12:59:09 GMT

Hi!

Does anyone know what the correct IfcObjectClassification is for a swing door operator?

I have it in 3d and want to export it together with the door it belongs to. So I need to classify it correct regarding to the IFC-standard and I also need to set up a reference to the door (proberly with a property set definition)

Has anyone done this before?

Hello! I tried to export it having purposes to load it in Revit. And also I did a lot in property set definition to load exact values to REVIT. But the most of them didn't get through.But As i noteced very important to have precise map in a program where you want to import .
For example in my case i achived that windows ,windows assambly, walls, slab,openings and etc. Were successfully adopted..
structral elements only partly were recognased...problem with multy component wals and endcapes

In addition I have to say that display config also affect at result. Try to export it with "medium details"/"structural"/"diagnostic"( model orthogonal view) and import it into the target program

Hi, perhaps we are not talking about the same thing. My issue was how do I classify a swing door operator (se picture) regarding to the Ifcstandard when doing a Ifcexport. Now i export this as a IfcBuildingElementProxy so just wondering how others are doing :)?
