IFC Export Level names in custom Property set

[jonasoverby]

Hello,

When I export IFC files from Revit using a custom property set and view them in Solibri, all the element's level has a prefix "Level: " followed by what that level is called in Revit. So if the level in Revit is called "Plan 1", when I view an objects properties in the custom property set in the exported IFC it has the level "Level: Plan 1".

I have had some success with altering the information that is NOT in the custom property set, but in the standard set (Location tab in Solibri) using the parameter IFCName with the help of this video (starting at 3:20):

This however is not my final goal. I want this "clean" information about levels in the IFC to carry over to a custom property set. But as this txt files that controls the mapping to this custom property set points to Revit parameters Level, Base Level and Base Constraint, this does not work. Please see images below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone with ideas?

I think it is in native Revit code how this is handled. If you use the IFC addin, you could try to ask the creators on github if they can create an option for this in the IFC addin.

Only other solution would be to create your own level parameter. You then could use Dynamo to fill that parameter with the level information as you want.

However seems a little bit too much work for such an issue.

Thanks a lot for the reply @L.Maas !

Guess I'll just stick with a quick find and replace in a text editor after the ifc file is exported.
