IFC BaseQuantities

BaseQuantities are dimensions and values calculated from the geometry of the model. You can transfer BaseQuantities with exchange partners.

You can transfer IFC BaseQuantities with the following settings:

• Select Export IFC Data, open the Settings and select the Transfer quantities data option in the Advanced options area.
• The Export IFC 2x3 Data tool only transfers BaseQuantities if the Certified CV2.0 data export option is not selected in the Advanced options area in the Settings.

Note: IFC Export considers BaseQuantities of the following components: user-defined architectural elements, openings, windows, doors, railings, columns, roofs, and foundations.

Note: BaseQuantities for areas and volumes of openings will be transferred as positive values.
