Layer visibility, current smart symbol foils

Hidden, frozen layers

When you Export IFC Data, you can use the visibility settings of layers to transfer specific construction layers of walls:

If, for example, you want to transfer the load-bearing layer of a wall to IFC, hide the Allplan layers of all other wall layers before you export the data. During export select the Split multilayer components - Wall option.

The conventional IFC interface required you to select the Do not transfer hidden layers option.

Smart symbol foils

A smart symbol can be composed of several foils; the way the smart symbol looks changes with the reference scale you select. One foil can contain a simple representation of the element at 1:100, while another could show a complex representation of the element at 1:10.

The Export IFC Data tool only transfers the smart symbol foils that are currently visible. Consequently, select the Reference scale at which the foils you want to export are visible before you start exporting the data.
