Exporting columns and pilasters to IFC format

In the Vectorworks Architect product, columns and pilasters can be exported to IFC format for exchange with structural analysis programs. If the column/pilaster has both architectural and structural components enabled, the object is exported as an IfcColumn and the architectural component is exported as an IfcCovering with an IfcCoveringType of Cladding. If the column/pilaster has only an architectural or structural component enabled, the object is exported as an IfcColumn.
