New to the forum, but have been using VW for over 5 years now - recently taking the role of BIM Manager for the Architects practice I work for in the UK - in light of this, I have been working on VW workflows more and more and would appreciate some guidance on the following;
1 - Is it possible to schedule out the raw data that is inputted into the custom property sets of an IFC object in the form of a worksheet? I know that you can find out the database codes for PIOs but is a similar thing available for IFC (Entities and Psets etc..?)
It would be nice if when you created a custom worksheet that under 'objects with a record', IFC would show, but....
2 - Further to this, I know there is a list that shows the standard VW tools and which IFC they are assigned to but has this been taken one step further? Eg. is there a document that list the VW fields against the IFC Property Set fields? Eg. Mark field (in wall tool) to ID field (In IFC Pset_DoorCommon) etc...
This would at least allow me to schedule the data from the inherent VW tools rather than from the raw IFC data. I then have the further concern regarding the need for different instances of the same PIO even if only one piece of IFC data is changed.
I look forward to hearing anyones expiriences on this. As of a note the Graphisoft ArchiCAD 16 2x3 IFC guide shows IFC Scheduling is achievable.
Cheers.
