Question:
Is it possible to export some of the profile information from Tekla Structures to an IFC file?
Answer:
You can do this by modifying the IFC_properties_sets.inp file located in C:\TeklaStructures\<version>\environments\common\inp.
You can add the profile properties you want, for example, by adding the line
Tekla_General Section_modulus_x PROFILE.SECTION_MODULUS_X FLOAT
The easiest way to get the exact property names is the following:
1. Create a new textual template in the Template Editor.
2. Insert a new PART Row.
3. Insert a new Value Field.
4. Click on Attribute. Scroll down and look for Profile, then expand the view to see all profile attributes .
5. Select the attribute and lick OK to show the exact name in the Formula Field.
Applicable in Tekla Structures versions: 17.0 SR3, 17.0.3 and earlier versions.
In later Tekla Structures versions the same information is handled in the IfcPropertySetConfigurations.xml file.
