| Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Layout component | Select the type of layout you want to covert to. The options are 'Wall layout' or 'Floor layout'. |
| Attribute settings | Select the desired saved attributes for the layout component. The layout component is created initially using these saved settings. Naturally you can modify the settings afterwards by modifying the layout directly. |
| Direction | With this option you can control layout direction. For a 'Wall layout' you can switch the depth direction of the layers in a multi layer 'Wall layout'. Image
For a 'Floor layout' you can control the direction of the floor slabs. Image

| Convert selected | Select the model objects you want to convert and click this button to convert selected objects. These can be either slabs, wall panels, IFC slabs or IFC walls. When selection contains native slabs or wall panels which were converted succesfully an additional question is shown whether to delete the original objects or not. Please note that IFC objects are never deleted. The tool uses "convert as extrusion" functionality when converting the IFC objects. This means the IFC has to be of type "coordination view 2.0". "Surface geometry" is not supported. |
