[display IFC data in a work sheet]

What is the format for displaying ifc data in a worksheet. I am playing around with the new data tag tool. I have a data tag tool associated with a wall and the tag  text defaults to the ifc data associated with the mark field under the wall styles data tab.

[Title Block 2018]

Good morning,

 

That is exactly what I am looking for!

From a cursory look it appears that the data field names are pretty strait forward - that is no abbreviations. for example:

='Title Block Border'.'Sheet Size Name'

 

That said is there a data dictionary that identifies each data field by name. 

[Title Block 2018]

Are the data fields on the title block accessible via work sheet. I would like to create a sheet list that has added data not available in the "standard sheet list" built by the reports function. i.e. issue number and date

[Saving symbols with attached record]

Thanks

 

[Saving symbols with attached record]

Thank you - so simple when one knows where to start. I do not know why I struggled with this for so long.

Interesting; Am I correct that one has to put text linked to a record in the 3D container?

[Saving symbols with attached record]

I can attach a record to a symbol instance via the resource browser but it seems the only way to populate the data fields is via the edit function which does not change the record associated with the symbol. Is there a tutorial or a set of instructions that explains this operation

 

 

[Saving symbols with attached record]

How do I save a symbol in my favorites file with the associated data?  I create a symbol in a project file, attach a record and populate the data fields, however when I export it to one of my favorites file for future use it arrives

without the record attached. Any ideas

[Setting Elevation Benchmarks]

Try setting "Y value equal to reference elevation"

[Make all attributes by class]

At first try it works very nicely 

Thank you

[Make all attributes by class]

There is a drop down menu at the bottom on the attributes pallet that give a choice to make an object " make all attributes by class" or if no object is selected it makes the the default "Make all attributes by class". I was looking for a faster way than having to navigate down the attributes menu and then select an option in a drop down menu.

[Make all attributes by class]

Does anyone have a keyboard shortcut or script to make the default to "Make all attributes by class"

 

[VW and Bimobject: how do we use it? Where is it? What is it? Is it real?]

Ok, so i signed up for "Bimobject" entered my user identification key. set user settings "download symbol to active drawings only"

Clicked on an object on the Bimobject site (thru vectorworks via the Bimobject tool) got to the download window and tried to down load both an IFC and a Rivit model.

When I tried to place the object in a new drawing I get an "X" with a dotted box around it. But no object is placed, nor is one downloaded into the Resource Browser.

 

Any advice

 

After further research (I should have continued reading the help section) sketch up file type worked just fine.

 

1. Select the file format to download (either  .vwx, or a compatible format such as  .dwg,  .skp, or  .3ds), and click to download the file.
