Lost Z location value of the Type object

R by Roel on 11 Dec 2023, edited 12 Dec 2023 #

As per the attached file.

When changing the Z location value (typed g-x-990-enter) for the Type object, it does not save the object goes back to the original location, why does this happen. Would also like to add a IFCspace as part of the Type object but I don’t know how to do this, can someone please help.

Correct location of objects and file saved.

Opened the saved file.

Thanks in advance

Tab into edit mode, and move the mesh instead.

I don't think you can do this. What's your use case?

You mean changing object's location? Types doesn't have a ObjectPlacement in IFC, so it's not preserved. Though you can edit the mesh, as Ryan mentioned.

Thanks for your help \0/

My use case is, I want to create a space for the delivery truck to stand in front of the dock-leveller, so that when a designer loads the Type into their project it ensures that the required space is included in the design. I would also like to include the electrical operational items, the frame which is cast into the concrete (this is a 1st fix item) but part of the Type.
