The indicated equipment and systems are exported to IFC format (Industry Foundation Classes) in accordance with the standards of the format. Additionally, the elements are assigned appropriately to the IFC entity and materials and colours are included with the export.
Improved export to IFC of Air conditioners
The export to IFC format of Air conditioners (Air conditioning tab > Installation > Air handling units) has been improved.
This equipment could already be exported to IFC format (Industry Foundation Classes) as of previous versions, in accordance with the standards of the format. Now, for the 2013.m version, the elements are assigned appropriately to the IFC entity and materials and colours are included with the export.
Improved export to IFC of water conduction systems
The export to IFC format has been improved for the following water conduction systems components (Air conditioning tab > Installation > Water handling systems): Valves, Circulation pumps, Manifolds, Water counter for heating.
These elements could already be exported to IFC format (Industry Foundation Classes) as of previous versions, in accordance with the standards of the format. Now, for the 2013.m version, the elements are assigned appropriately to the IFC entity and materials and colours are included with the export.
