shorter Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Who would find it useful if we could export a DWG or IFC using a class's 'other name' i.e. it's description? So if a class is called 'Bobs Bits' but it's description is 'A-EF_25_10-M_Wall'...export as 'A-EF_25_10-M_Wall'. Adding the description column to the Organisation and Navigation palette would also help enormously. Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 What about a script to temporarily switch the name and description, do the export, and then switch them back. The probable limiting factor is that I think descriptions can have many more characters than the Class Name. Quote Link to comment
0 shorter Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 The idea is to use the description as the ‘compliant’ name. Quote Link to comment
