  • Element's properties can be assigned while modeling. Note: some parameters can be auto filled using expressions.

IFC Properties

S2 – Fig 18

  • To easily view and select the elements while modelling.
  • To easily navigate while modeling and checking.
  • To filter the views as per Agency Submission.
