Structure and pipe names in exported IFC file

[hericson]

In Civil (using 2017 version) I have structures and pipes with names, see first attached picture.

When I export my structures and pipes to an IFC file, I want these names to export as well. But what I can see they only got names like BUILDINGELEMENTPROXY(number), see second attached picture.

Is it possible to achieve what I'm looking for?

Hi @hericson,

If you would like to export any standard data from Civil 3D (structure or pipe names, elevations...) you have to put them in Property Set Data. You can do it manually or you can try to use "programming" options. Unfortunately, sometimes it does not function as expected, but it is worthy to try. Look at the post in which procedure is explained:

I did a quick test and it seems to work the way I wanted.

Now I only have to see if it possible for Civil to automatically set the data instead of entering everything manually.
