Creating IFC Schedules
Creating IFC SchedulesBefore 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 Create Report command, or you can create your own schedules (see Using Preformatted Reports).
● 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.
● COBie[worksheet name] provides a worksheet that resembles COBie worksheets for architectural data.
● COBie[worksheet name] Help provides a worksheet that resembles COBie worksheets for architectural data, but with additional rows that display the source for the COBie data. These worksheets can be used during the design process to locate and correct objects that result in undesirable or incorrect data.
Alternatively, from the Resource Manager, select Vectorworks Libraries\Defaults\Reports_Schedules\Architectural Reports.vwx. Drag the appropriate IFC worksheet to the drawing.
To edit the worksheets after they have been created, see Editing Worksheets.
