Element Mapping
- Last UpdatedMay 23, 2023

The mapping configuration file contains the information about how the data is exported to an IFC file, primarily the element types and their attributes that need to be exported.
The Export mapped unset attributes check box controls all the mapped properties that are exported to the IFC file or only those properties which have a set value in AVEVA E3D Design. By default, the check box is not checked.
Note:
Any mapped property values which upon evaluation are UNSET or empty are also exported (this can also be achieved by manually editing the mapping
configuration .xml file to True).
The values exported for UNSET or empty evaluated property values are:
|
Property Value Expression Data Type |
Value used if unset |
|
STRING |
" |
|
INTEGER |
0 |
|
REAL |
0.0 |
|
LOGICAL |
FALSE |
The E3D to IFC - element mappings pane of the Edit IFC mapping file window displays the E3D Elements, E3D Rules and IFC Elements (mapped elements) in the currently selected configuration mapping file.
The IFC Element column of the E3D to IFC - element mappings pane controls how the mapped AVEVA E3D Design elements are exported. Double click on the ... next to the required element in the IFC Element column to display the Pick IFC element window.
