I want to add an IFC schema predefined Pset to an element type, e.g. add the Pset_FurnitureTypeTable to an IfcFurnitureType of PredefinedType: Table. But this or any other specific Pset - even though defined in the schema - is not available in the Property Editor -> Scene Tab -> Object Information -> Object Metadata -> Object Property Sets dropdown.
But if I add a Pset_xxxTypeCommon (this works for every IfcElementType, but I first have to set one of the properties so it is saved to the type, e.g. check the Status -> New box ) the specific Pset definition is available if I type the exact name into the Pset Name text field.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in BlenderBIM?
Here is a step by step example to illustrate my issue.
-
Start Blender with BlenderBIM and create a new IFC project
-
select Toolbar -> Create Element
-
Header -> Launch Type Manager
-
Search for IfcFurnitureType -> Create New Type
-
select for Predefined Type: Table and name it accordingly like - table
-
in the Outliner under Collection Types (hidden / grayded out) select the newly created IfcFurnitureType/table
-
Property Editor -> Scene Tab -> Object Information -> Object Metadata -> Object Property Sets dropdown -> select Pset_FurnitureTypeCommon and press the little + button
-
Change on of the displayed property values to trigger that this Pset is saved to the type, e.g. check Status: New
(changing no property value does not save the Pset to the type, but we need it to be saved to change the Pset definition afterwards)
Aside: Directly typing the correct Pset name into the name text field does not work as it does not changes the display properties defined for this Pset
-
Select Enable Pset Editing for the newly saved Pset by pressing the pen button
-
Change the name to Pset_FurnitureTypeTable -> save again
-
Again select Enable Pset Editing -> now only the property values as defined by the schema are displayed -> change one property, e.g. set NumberOfChairs -> save
-
Now the Pset_FurnitureTypeTable shows the property Status[New] and the NumberOfChairs[xxx] values -> but the Status[New] property can not be deletes from this Pset definition
