Flexible Mappings

IFC Export is supplied with a sample configuration based on the APS sample Project. This mapping configuration file can be modified according to requirements using the functionality available from the Edit IFC mapping file window. Any matching element mapping based on the AVEVA E3D Design element type, and for which the AVEVA E3D Design rule is valid and evaluates to True, is selected and used for IFC Export.

A mapping configuration file can be created, modified or deleted using the functionality available from the Edit IFC mappings file window and may be used for any number of exports.

• Load a Mapping Configuration File

• Modify a Mapping Configuration File

The following information can also be specified:

• Which AVEVA E3D Design element corresponds to which IFC class.

• Which AVEVA E3D Design elements should be excluded from IFC export.

• Property set definitions.

• Property mappings for each property set.

• Whether mapped but UNSET attributes should be exported.

  Note:
  The mapping configuration file is validated against the mapping schema to warn the User against any error (syntax error or incorrect mapping file).
