IFC project (modifying project name)

Hi,

I am new here and I am trying to figure out how to change the project name of my my IFC file with code.

my ifc project is like this:

IFCPROJECT('3ZP7Iz_zX5EAHhd83K6qGX',#42,'0001',$,$,'Project Name','Project Status',(#114),#109);

I want to change Project Name by a new one

I was trying to do something like this

project.remove("Project Name")

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>

ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list

I am not sure how to do this.

you could try this

project.Name = "New Name"

I tried it but it gave an error

project.Name = "New Name"

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'Name'

Hi,

It was missing just to specify the project by guid

and it worked.

Thanks!

You likely have a list object because you are doing ifc_file.by_type("IfcProject"), which returns a list (since potentially there could be more than one element found). So you could do ifc_file.by_type("IfcProject")[0] to ensure you get the first (and only) project in the model.
