Source

Defines the details of the source data of the imported model.

Load and Save IFC Import Window Settings

When an import transaction is completed and the IFC Import window is closed, the window settings are saved to a default file in the AVEVA_DESIGN_USER directory. The file is named ifcimport.impsav. When the IFC Import window is re-invoked, the System searches for this file and restores all but one of the IFC Import window values at the time of closing the IFC Import window.

Load and Reset

All of the IFC Import window settings can be saved to a file and reloaded into the IFC Import window.

Load:

Use a file browser to select a previously created file to populate the IFC Import window fields. On loading a settings file, all the fields are repopulated except for the field defining the import site destination. This makes sure that the import location is stated.

Reset:

Clears all fields and sets them to the System default values.

Source File or Folder

Imports a single .IFC file or a folder containing a set of IFC files as the import source (the default is File).

Enter the file name/folder path or browse to locate the required file or folder.

Once the source data has been correctly defined, click Next to proceed to the Destination window.

For further information, refer to Destination, Settings, and Logging.
