This is an idea posted on behalf of Revit user.
It would be good to pass/export the material/color information into IFC file and then get these colors populated in the IFC viewer, not necessarily in any particular type. It is essential for MEP, especially for ducts.
In this way MEP systems may be differentiated and easy to recognize in various 3D viewers.
Possible IFC parameters for this from buildingSMART are:
- IfcIndexedColourMap
- IFCDuctsegment IFCLabel
