I am starting using Vectorworks and I’m a bit stuck with IFC. I’ll try to explain my final goal so maybe someone can suggest me the best workflow.
I am a landscape architect and I’m working on a terrace where there are few planters I created as extruded object. My goal is very simple, I want attach data to each planters:
1) dimension
2) materials
3) manufacturer
4) junction type
5) pivoting wheels (only some of them)
6)tag
7) colour
8) notes
Once I put all the data I expect to be able to have a worksheet that highlights different parameters for each planters.
what I have managed to do so far is: 1) to attach ifc to every object using a custom pset (ifcfurnituretype). However, I would like to set my own variables because the pset is full of variables I don’t need.
2) to create a custom tag that display the ifc data.
Now I want to create the worksheet but I cannot find the right column referring to the ifc furniture type pset. I tried to select records, functions or data sheet but still nothing that resemble data I put on planters…
In the first picture you can see the highlighted planters with tag (F_01) and data. In the second picture you can see the ”create report” window with columns option that are not related to planters.
