Settings for IFC export, import

You can use this dialog box to specify settings for exporting and importing IFC data.

Click Import IFC Data or Export IFC Data.
Click Settings.

You can see the available exchange favorites. Click to select the current exchange favorite.

Use this to remove the selected exchange favorite. Allplan does not physically delete the exchange favorite, but it merely removes the favorite from the Current exchange favorite list. You cannot remove exchange favorites that come with Allplan.

Displays information on the selected exchange favorite. You can edit the info text of your own exchange favorites.

Allplan automatically imports the data using the source file's unit of length. For export, you can choose the unit for the target file. You should discuss this with your data exchange partner.

Note: In some systems, the unit in which lengths and coordinates are saved is predefined and must therefore not be altered here. If you want to adjust coordinates and lengths, use the Resizing factor option.

Puede utilizar esto para aumentar (>1) o reducir (<1) las medidas de longitud y coordenadas de los datos que se han convertido. Este parámetro siempre está disponible (al contrario que los dos parámetros anteriores).

You can move the data by a value you specify. This changes the coordinates themselves. Use this option only if you require the data only for internal use and you do not need to export the data again (coordinates in site plans are legally binding).

Allplan automatically uses the unit of length you defined using the

Options - Desktop environment or the status bar.

Note: The offset specified in the Project Settings is not taken into account. You can specify the offset value manually. Use a positive value for exporting data and a negative value for (re)importing data.

Select this option to export data of the Coordination View 2.0 subset only. Export is certified by buildingSMART. If you select this option, Allplan selects the Elements to be transferred accordingly (shown in bold in the table).

Note: The Certified CV2.0 data export option is active by default. With this setting, you obtain the best IFC quality possible. For example, this option does not export IFC Base Quantities. If you want to export a different selection of elements, deactivate this option and select the elements you want to transfer (for example, 2D elements).

buildingSMART (creado en 1995 como IAI - International Alliance for Interoperability). Está desarrollado en base a normativas internacionalmente reconocidas para trabajos en BIM, trabajos de arquitectura, ingeniería y construcción (AEC) y gestión de proyectos (FM). Al ser compatible con BIM, buildingSMART mejora los costes, el rendimiento y facilita el intercambio de información entre usuarios. BIM (Building Information Modeling) es una representación digital de las características físicas de una empresa. Un modelo de información del edificio es una fuente de datos compartida que permite obtener información a lo largo de toda la vida útil del edificio, desde su creación hasta su demolición. El formato Open BIM es un formato universal que se basa en la realización de edificios en base a normativas compartidas, en especial al formato IFC registrado en la norma ISO 16739.

If you select this option, Allplan does not transfer wall layers on hidden layers. The visible layers must connect, that is, be beside each other. There must not be any holes in between. Allplan reduces the geometry of the wall to the visible layers.

Select this option to transfer structural data of the following architectural elements: wall, column, downstand beam, floor slab, upper slab and openings. Structural programs can use these data as the basis for calculations. Any settings for Additional offset are not taken into account; the Do not transfer hidden layers option is not available.

Saves the current settings in the dialog box to the Windows Registry. These settings are preset the next time you start the IFC interface.
