Export IFC Common Pset Parameters with different name

[semmarblo]

Hi,

So, I'm exporting IFC files in 2x3 and the builder/BIM-manager wants the parameter names in a special way.

Example; Floors
they want 'Area' to be called 'net area' and 'Gross Area' to be called 'gross area'
Since these are built-in parameters I can't seem to able to map the to the name the builder wants.

Do anyone of you know if there is a way?

I can make the Project Parameters work through both Pset schedules and Pset mapping txt-file, but when it comes to these built-in parameters it doesn't seem to work?!

Hi @semmarblo 

Try User Defined Property Sets.

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda !

Thank you for replying!

After a few investigating hours and discussions with several BIM-managers we landed in the conclusion that it is not possible to map the IFC System parameters to different names - only the parameters that exist in Revit.

Which of course makes sense 🙂

So, the BIM-manager for the project decided to revise the BIM-manual and now allows the System parameters to keep their original names.
