Revit IFC Material Properties Export

[l.middleton1]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to export material names, material properties and material volumes from Revit to IFC (IFC4) to perform a Lifecycle Carbon Assessment (LCA). 
I can export the material names and volumes fine, but I cannot find a way to export the densities, even after ticking the box "Export material property sets"

I was just wondering if anyone knew a fix or could provide some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it!

I am not sure 100% on this but I know you can create IFC Schedules so if you had a Material Take-off this could be utilised?

Exporting IFC from Revit part 3: User-defined properties – Bim Corner

Schedules | Autodesk IFC Manual

I have seen LCA Software which has plugins/Integrators which can pull Material information which may be more inline with your requirements

Autodesk® Revit® – One Click LCA Help Centre

Thank you Jay for the quick reply!

Yes, I will try this tomorrow morning, I need the program to be easily transferable between projects so I think I will try the User defined properties method - I will let you know how I get on.

Many thanks,
Luke
