Map Component-Level Properties

By default, IFC export automatically interprets component-level properties wherever applicable.

The default setting is “Based on rule content” which extracts property values of each element by skin. (This works for each part of simple, composite, and profile elements alike.)

You can also specify a property-mapping rule to apply ONLY to components (but not the parent element as such).

For example, create a rule to show the Archicad ID of each component’s parent element. Choose “Element components only” from the Mapping Rule pop-up:
