Administrator's release notes: New IFC property set definition - control all hidden, hard-coded, and buildingSmart properties

New functionalities and usability improvements have been added to the Property set definitions dialog box to make the tool more powerful for creating property sets.

For more information about these improvements, see New IFC property set definition - control all hidden, hard-coded, and buildingSmart properties in the Tekla Structures 2024 release notes.

Update your standard files if you want to use the new options and features.

Copy files from the common environment

If you do not use files from the common\inp folder in your environment, copy files from the common environment to your environment.

  1. Copy the following files from the common\inp folder in the common environment to your own folder defined by the XS_INP advanced option:
    • IfcPropertySetConfigurations.xsd

    • Bridge view default properties.xml

    • Coordination view default properties.xml

    • Design transfer view default properties.xml

    • Precast view default properties.xml

    • Reference view default properties.xml

    • Steel fabrication view default properties.xml

    • Surface geometry view default properties.xml

  2. Copy the \Environments\common\inp\PropertySets folder from the common environment to your own folder defined by the XS_INP advanced option.

    This folder contains XML files for buildingSMART properties. Do not edit these property sets.

    The folder contains the following files:

    • Pset_Common_IFC2x3 (xml)

    • Pest_Common_IFC4 (xml)

    • Pset_Common_IFC4x3 (xml)

    • Pest_Others_IFC2x3 (xml)

    • Pset_Others_IFC4 (xml)

    • Pset_Others_IFC4x3 (xml)

    • Pset_Performance_IFC4 (xml)

    • Pset_Performance_IFC4x3 (xml)

    • Pset_Quantities_IFC4 (xml)

    • Pset_Quantities_IFC4x3 (xml)

Create a new filter file for the IFC property set export

  1. Browse to the \Environments\common\system folder.
  2. Open the standard.IFCObjGrp file in a standard text editor.
  3. Create new custom object filters if needed.
  4. Copy from <model>\attributes\*.IFCObjGrp to any folder in the XS_SYSTEM path in your environment.
