Functions of the IFC Project Manager

View all IFC model entities generated from the ARCHICAD project (including IFC import content) in a hierarchy

View all IFC data available for project elements

Create new IFC data (custom IFC Properties and Classification Reference) for any model element

Group elements or assign entities to elements (called IFC Assignments) and manage their IFC data

Manage IFC Type Products assigned to elements with their with their IFC data

Assign elements directly to the IfcSite or IfcBuilding. For example, the neighboring buildings and site context elements (trees, fences, roads, vehicles etc.) can be assigned to the IfcSite; thus, their default direct relation to their home story is removed.

Update the IFC model with the modifications of the ARCHICAD project

Navigate easily between the ARCHICAD model and the IFC model

Filter the IFC model by elements visible in the current view

Find elements both in the IFC and ARCHICAD models by their IFC ID’s

In Teamwork, reserve the IFC Project Manager to modify data for the following elements: IfcProject, IfcBuilding, IfcSite, Assignments, and Type Products. To modify data for model elements (e.g. IfcWall, IfcColumn, IfcBeam) in IFC Project Manager, you must also reserve the elements themselves.

The IFC Project Manager palette is a modeless dialog box, so you can keep it open while working in the ARCHICAD project.
