alfie hope Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I've looked and looked but i cannot find out the correct method for attaching IFC data to symbols. I can see that i can attach it to them individually but what use it that when i've got a million of each symbol? I've seen some mention of attaching IFC data to symbols using record formats. Is this the way to do it? Am i missing something very simple? Alfie vw2009 Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Alfie, In Vectorworks 2012 SP4, you can use custom record formats to create custom IFC property sets (Pset). Currently, editing an existing symbol definition and adding IFC data to it only affects the definition and any instances from that point forward. Previously placed instanced will need to be edited manually, or you could created a similar symbol and do a find/replace. We are well aware of this and hope to address it soon. Quote Link to comment
