export or copy IFC project data

[Frank Schnater]

Hello all,

 

I am working on a project that consists of multiple files (housing blocks). We have to produce IFC models of these blocks and for each of these blocks the project data (author, project name, organization name, etc) is more or less the same.

Does anybody know a way to copy this information from file to file? It is a pain to have to type this information in 10 tabbed windows for about 100 files...

 

Tia,

Along with coordinate systems, levels, and other critical project data.

 

the only way to optimise this is to do it at the beginning in your project template.

Ai, that is an unexpected shortcoming.

I wouldn't expect a networking/automation oriented aspect as IFC handling lacking such a basic feature. Who has not worked on a project where say, the project name or client changes halfway? Maybe I can get a script to do this; maybe even applescript.

Thanks for your reply anyway!
