DesignSeries00005.pngAssigning IFC Data to Space Zones

The IFC Zones command attaches IFC data to the specified IFC zones from the current file.

Zones are assigned to space objects from the Occupancy pane of the Space Settings dialog box (see Space Settings: Occupancy Pane).

To attach IFC data to zones in use in the file:

  1. Select AEC > IFC Zones.

  2. The IFC Zones dialog box opens. Zones in use in the file are listed above the divider line; available IFC zones are listed below the divider.

    The IFC Zones command is available for Vectorworks Landmark and Spotlight software but is not present in the those workspaces. It can be added to the Landmark and Spotlight workspaces (see Creating or Editing Workspaces).

  3. Select a zone and click OK. Only one zone can be selected at a time.

  4. The IFC Data dialog box opens. The object type is automatically set to ifcZone, and the property Name value set to the zone name. See Assigning IFC Data to Objects.

  5. Click OK to attach the IFC data to the zone.

At IFC export, the IFC zone data is automatically applied to all space objects with a matching zone definition.
