Predefined Property Mapping (Export Archicad to IFC)
The Property Mapping preset of the IFC Translator for Export defines the assignment of IFC Properties and Attributes when exporting Archicad model to IFC.
See Property Mapping for IFC Export.
Some Attribute and Property data come with a predefined mapping rule, which you do not have to create yourself in Property Mapping.
Although these rules do not appear in the Map IFC Properties for Export dialog box, they can be seen (if they have values) with a gray chain icon in the IFC Project Manager and Element Settings.
These rules are listed in the following table.
