DATA EXCHANGE FOR POWERBI: IFC CLASSIFICATION

RVIENG — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 11:31:13 GMT

Good morning.
I am extracting a Data Exchange from an Ifc model.
In the ifc I have (3) classification systems as you can see in the picture.
My issue is that I can't see all mi classification values in the data exchange and therefore into PoweBI.
I see a column called "IfcExternalReference.Identification" but the reported values are not consistent: the values do not come from the same classification system and anyway I do not have all of them.
Is there a way to have the classification values for all the classification systems?

Thank you
Roberto

I am adding a second image to explain my issue:
In the picture I highlighted 3 different values
08 44 13 is Masterformat
2.1.1 Is UNI8290
C1030200 is UniFormat

thank you again

Hi @RVIENG ,

Could you share the IFC file with us (or also just a small part with a couple of elements that have all 3 classification systems set up) by sending it to data.exchange.support@autodesk.com?

We'll have a closer look and let you know - multiple classifications might be a scenario we haven't considered so far, so thanks for bringing this up!

Best,

Lejla

Hi @lejla.s
Thank you so much for your kind reply. The model is on its' way, no problem to share it, it is a sandbox model I use to test my ideas.

Best,
Roberto
