Hello,

 

How can I change the color of the "pipes" when I make a export to IFC?

 

When I make a IFC export now all pipes are orange.

I want them to be red, green, blue and grey.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Devlin.

May I ask why you need to export to IFC?

 

You can export to dwfx and have all your colors.

Hello Johna,

 

I want to make a good IFC export because not everybody is working with Revit.

In Solibri you can put al IFC files together to check if you see problems.

 

Bye!

I can't find the view you send me.

 

This is what I see.

Here I can only choose from existing "materials".

 

I changed the insulation and now I can choose colors ( materials ).

Where can I see the view you sent me?

And create a new material for each system (so colors don't mix)
