Adding ifcstorey to existing ifc

S by samromeo on 4 Sep 2023, edited 20 Sep 2023 #

Is there a workflow to add ifcstorey to existing ifc and sorting objects to the respective storey, when not originally setup in ifc?

You mean like copy pasting elements from one IfcBuildingStorey to another one?

You can create a building storey in three different ways:

select a building storey in the outlier, duplicate with Shift D in the viewport, and move it's elevation if you wish to. F2 to rename.
select the building object in the outline, and go to the Object Information Tab > you'll find an " Add Building Storey " somewhere. Change the elevation as before.
Project Setup > Spatial Manager , highlight a building, and a " add storey" operator will pop up. Change the name and elevation and hit apply.

Then, select the objects you want to move to the new storey,

Go to object information > spatial container> change the container and hit apply.

Why do you only have one building storey though? Perhaps you can receive a better IFC export ?

Because it is an export from Sketchup which does not have IFCStorey, so I am trying to correct it so I can use in Bimvision and expand out the Stories
