Exporting A Project To Ifc - Autodesk 256B1-05A761-1301 - AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2010 User Manual

Appropriate values are set according to the IFC standard definition. Selecting Not Exported
prevents elements of that category or sub-category from being exported.
If the values for a category or subcategory are blank, Revit Architecture will try to determine the
appropriate category. If it cannot make a match and the object has geometry, it is exported as
a proxy object.
4 To save the settings, do one of the following:
To save the settings in a new IFC mapping file, click Save As, navigate to a target folder, and
enter a new file name. Click OK.
To save the changed settings in the existing IFC mapping file (whose file name appears in
the dialog s title bar), click OK.
When you export a Revit project to IFC, Revit Architecture automatically uses the appropriate IFC mapping
file.

Exporting a Project to IFC

1 Load the IFC mapping file that you want to use for the export to IFC.
See Loading and Modifying an IFC Mapping File
to modify the mapping file or to map non-standard Revit Architecture families to IFC containers.
2 Click
3 In the Export IFC dialog, for Save In, navigate to the target folder for the IFC file.
4 For Files of Type, select the desired file type:
IFC 2x2 (*.ifc)
IFC 2x3 (*.ifc): This is the default certified version of export, and the latest version generally
supported by other systems.
IFC BCA ePlan Check (*.ifc): This is a certified variant of IFC 2x2 used for submitting files to
the Singapore BCA ePlan Check Server. When exporting to this file type, you should make
sure that all room-bounding elements are selected.
5 Select export options:
Current view only allows you to export elements that are visible in the current view. Visible
elements include those that are hidden by hidden line or shaded mode, any underlays in
the view, and elements that are cropped from view by the crop region. Elements temporarily
hidden using temporary hide/isolate will not be exported. Categories marked as Not Exported
in the IFC Export Classes dialog will not be exported. See
Mapping File
Split walls and columns by level allows you to divide multi-level walls and columns by level.
Export base quantities includes base quantities for model elements in the export data. Base
quantities are generated from model geometry to reflect actual physical quantity values,
independent of measurement rules or methods.
6 For File Name, enter a name for the IFC file.
7 Click Save.
