Door Class

[Rutuja]

Hello! I'm working on a Renovation project where I need to add my Door in Existing Door Class. It only allows me to change class for unstyled doors
I already have doors in the file I want to change their class for many doors at once.

Can someone help me to understand where is the door taking Class none from and how can I change it?

 

 

Does anyone have suggestions on what is the best way to represent Existing, Demolition and New Doors ??

I would make the doors unstyled unless you have a lot of doors that are the same size. If you want to use styled doors, create the styled door required, then locate the door style in the Resource Manager, right-click on it and choose Plug-in Style Options. Change the class for the style here.

I attach a data record and use Data Visualizations in Viewports as needed.  The VW roadmap shows that they're working on a phasing system, but nothing is built in for now.

Even if different sizes ....

VW should be able to edit multiple selected Doors at a time,

to change Door parameters or even to resize multiple Doors of same size.

 

 

 

On the other hand

These can have different sizes though.

The Style more controls the Door character and types,

sizes and other individual options set to be editable in Style definition.

 

If you copy Styles for existing vs new Doors as they are same types,

and you would need to change characteristics later you would have to

that for both Styles.
But as it not very likely to need that and new Doors may be likely

completely different than existing,

I see no reason why not making use of Door Styles.

 

But that may depend on project details.

Create a worksheet, and modify the values in the worksheet.

 

Never leave Doors 'Unstyled'.  The door can be styled and pretty much all parameters can be left as editable 'instance' parameters.

 

I would create a Door Style, that is an 'Existing' door style, e.g. ABC_Door_Internal_Existing, but with the size parameters (and any other than might change) instance based.

 

You could create more than one existing door style depending on what is constant about that particular set of doors.

 

The doors style can then be classed (go to the plug-in object settings in the resource manager) or data attached via the IFC pset to do what @E|FA suggests.  Note: IFC4 now allows for phasing in the IFC pset_DoorCommon (set the status parameter as Text and it gives you a pull down list).

 

You can then select all doors via a worksheet and edit them en-masse.  Tip: list the doors by using the 'summarise' filter in the worksheet.

 

You can use the ifc property to highlight them as existing or demolished using data visualisation.
