Destination

The Destination defines the file name, file path, and overwrite settings for the exported IFC file.

Save As

Activates a file browser which creates a file that can be used to repopulate the Destination fields. The saved file is suffixed .expsav. For example:

-- EXPORT

-- If you wish to use this as a source for your own IFCExporterObj based

-- interface, change '!this' to the name of your export object variable.

!this.setUserFileFolder('C:\Users\PDMSUSER\AppData\Local\Temp')

!this.setDbSource(=2013286726/4)

!this.setRootDir('C:\Users\ PDMSUSER \AppData\Local\Temp')

!this.setDestination('')

!this.setOverWriteFlag(FALSE)

!this.setRefDatumByName('IFCGLOBAL')

!this.setRefDatumOption(FALSE)

!this.setVersion('IFC2x3')

!this.setTolerance(1mm)

!this.setRepre('HOLES',TRUE)

!this.setRepre('AUTOCOL',TRUE)

!this.setRepre('TUBE',TRUE)

!this.setRepre('CLINE',FALSE)

!this.setLevel('PIPE',6)

!this.setLevel('NOZZ',6)

!this.setLevel('STRU',6)

!this.setLevel('CABLE',6)

!this.setLevel('REST',6)

!this.setDataLevel('FA')

!this.setInsu(25)

!this.setObst(50)

!this.setLogFile('')

!this.setLogDetail(3)

The file can be used as a basis for a user developed PML interface that can run in command line mode.

Destination

Defines the file path and file name for the exported IFC file. Type the full path name and file name into the text box.

Alternatively, use Browse to navigate to the destination folder and type the file name into the File name field of the Select destination IFC file window.

If the file name already exists, a Confirm window is displayed asking to confirm the replacement of the existing file.

When a path name and file name is defined, Save as becomes available.

Note:
If the destination folder is read-only, the file is not exported and a log file is not produced.

Overwrite

Defines the overwrite settings for the exported file.

If the check box is selected, files with duplicate names can be overwritten.

If the check box is not selected, files with duplicate names cannot be overwritten.
