‘Section name’ attribute for IFC export

If the cross-sectional shape of a Column or Downstand Beam, Upstand Beam is based on a 2D symbol, the name of this 2D symbol will be assigned automatically to the component as the Section name attribute (IFC attribute group; the component type will be displayed as the Object name attribute). This opens up advanced options, in particular with the Nemetschek Profile Catalog.

Using Modify Attributes, you can reassign or change the Section name attribute (IFC attribute group) at any time.

The Export IFC Data tool transfers the Section name attribute, which considerably enhances IFC export of columns, downstand beams and upstand beams.
