Barry_Williams Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Have been trying to attach IFC data to a 3d object of a hand wash basin. After selecting IFC Data command and selecting the following ifcSanitaryTerminalType Pset_SanitaryTerminalTypeWashHandBasin Then filling in all the possible properties associated with this. I get the message "The following field is mandatory and not set , PredefinedType" Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug. I have already tried attaching this to a simple 3d extrude as an alternative and it still doesn't work. Have also tried attaching ifcBuildingElementPart and this works (however this is the incorrect classification). Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Barry, You're not doing anything wrong, just a bit unfinished. The error message indicates that you have one more mandatory field to populate before it takes. In the "Properties for the selected Data Set:" list browser, scroll down to the bottom of the list (or expand the overall dialog), to display the "PredefinedType" at the bottom. Select the Property and see the "Enum Value for selected Property:" change to a pull-down menu control. Then select "WASHHANDBASIN". You should be good to go after that. But, your report does make a good case for seeing if we can automate this behavior when a user selects a specific Pset for SanitaryTerminalType. I'll get our engineers to look into it.

Barry_Williams Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Works perfectly, many thanks Jeffrey. It's not really that obvious that you have to do that. I would have been scratching my head for a while Quote Link to comment
