I'm hoping someone is able to assist with some direction on how to best attach Uniclass classification to elements in our model (which is already built).
For background, our interiors based work is part of a much larger project, for which Revit is being used by other consultants and designers, and we have been instructed to include Uniclass classification codes and description in accordance with the BIM execution plan.
Browsing other threads that deal with Uniclass, I am unclear whether I can input attach codes / descriptions manually using IFC management within the Data Manager, or whether it needs to be done through the NBS Chorus plugin? On other threads, Vwx templates have been provided with a class list based on Uniclass naming conventions, but as I understand, the outputting of our model in Revit format would make this classification redundant as there is no Revit equivalent.
If it's the former, a run through of exactly how this is done manually would be hugely appreciated.
If its the latter, will I need a NBS Chorus subscription, or is this a free plugin / service? The link to the Vectorworks / NBS plugin (page link below) takes me to the Vectorworks customer portal home page, and I can't locate the plugin - any assistance locating it would be great.
