ArchLand00008.pngCreating IFC Schedules

Before you export an IFC project, check that objects have appropriate IFC data associated with them. In the Vectorworks Architect product, the following schedules with IFC data can be added to the drawing with the VA Create Schedule command, or you can create your own schedules (see Records and Schedules).

     Objects with IFC Entity gives a count of IFC objects for each entity type on each layer. The object class, name, and type also display, if available.

     Objects with IFC Entity - Specific lists each IFC object, broken down by entity type (walls, slabs, roofs, doors, windows, stairs, and columns). The object layer, class, name, and description also display, if available.

     Objects without IFC Entity lists each non-IFC object. The object layer, class, type, and type name also display, if available.

Alternatively, from the Resource Browser, open the default architectural reports file from the [Vectorworks]\Libraries folder that is included with the Vectorworks Architect product (see Resource Libraries). Drag the appropriate IFC worksheet to the drawing.

To edit the worksheets after they have been created, see Using Worksheets.
