Export dimension for IfcDoor according to the IFC standard (2x3 or 4.1)

Hi!

The ifc-standard defines two diffrent attributes for the geometric data Width and Height.

OverallWidth=Overall measure of the width, it reflects the X Dimension of a bounding box, enclosing the door opening.

Width (BaseQuantities)=Outer width of the door lining.

 

OverallHeight=Overall measure of the height, it reflects the Z Dimension of a bounding box, enclosing the door opening.

Height (BaseQuantities)=Outer height of the door lining.

 

So...is it anyway to define both the dimensions of the door lining and the opening in the wall for a door in Revit and export it according to the ifc-standard?

When I look in the ifc-file i can see that Revit exports the OverallHeight/Width=Height/Width (BaseQuantities).

So, this is not according to the ifc-standard but perhaps it depends on the missing parameters for the dimension of the door lining in Revit...

Anyone that have a clue about this?

ps

I'm not a pro i Revit but I have a good knowledge about the ifc standard.

Create schedule of the category and add the parameters you want to include in export, then choose Export schedules as property sets under IFC export settings.
