No headersBefore exporting a Revit project to IFC, make sure that Revit supports the desired IFC entities.
To change the mapping of Revit categories to IFC entities
- Click
ExportOptionsIFC Options. - To revert to the default mappings, in the IFC Export Classes dialog, click Standard.
- To change how a Revit category is exported, use one fo the supported entities below, plus the optional type (the types for each entity are listed as part of the IFC specification.) The names must be spelled correctly, but are case-insensitive, and the prefix "Ifc" and suffix "Type" are optional.
- To prevent elements in a Revit category from being exported, use the special DontExport entity name.
To override the mapping of a category for a specific Revit family
Adding the shared parameters "IfcExportAs" and "IfcExportType" to a family will override the category settings for instances of that family. The "IfcExportAs" entity name should come from the list below, and the optional "IfcExportType" should be appropriate for the entity chosen.
The following is the list of supported IFC entities are supported. NOTE: The values below will only affect family instances, normal or in-place (e.g., you can not export a Revit wall as an IfcColumn, unless it is family-based or an in-place wall.)
