Without modelling separate wall finishes 'walls' how are you exporting wall finish data for COBie from a Vectorworks model?
Seems to me that there are a few things that do not export via IFC that will soon be necessary (some of which we are not sure if it's just 'BIM-flation' or not, i.e. BIM for BIM's sake.
1 Materials
All materials and classification of materials need to export via IFC. We will need to be able to issue an IFC and have the OFC contain the data that someone else can quantify for embodied carbon, etc.
2 Wall Finishes
Wall finishes are often requested as part of COBie output because they are considered 'maintainable assets'. Has anyone seen a painted wall that wasn't?
3 Studwork
We are now being told that due to current fire regulations and the impending and increasing use of the controversial 'FIREie' output, we, or someone, will have to model studwork.
Given studwork is currently a zone within the wall object and not something intrinsic to it, this is going to be a bit of an overhead. You have the AIA BIM Forum documentation and the imaginary LOD350 nonsense to blame for this. #bimflation
