Functions of the IFC Project Manager

View all IFC model entity 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) to be used in the current project

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 GlobalId (Globally Unique Identifier)

In Teamwork, the following data in the IFC Project Manager can be reserved and modified: IfcProject, IfcBuilding, IfcSite, Assignments and Type Products. IFC Properties of model elements (e.g. IfcWall, IfcColumn, IfcBeam) can be modified via IFC Project Manager only if those elements are not reserved by any other user.

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