As of version 2024.e, IFC Builder includes the definition of construction systems for the components of the geometric model.
To manage the construction systems of the IFC Builder project, the "Construction systems" option has been added to the "Project" group in the program's toolbar. Construction systems can be defined the same way as in the Open BIM Construction Systems program.
Therefore, systems can be shared between the two programs via the options for "importing" and "exporting" elements on disk.
By entering a new type for the elements in the "Architecture" group in the toolbar, users can now choose between a "simplified definition" or a "construction system". This way, the dimensions of the geometrical elements will be determined from the properties of the selected system.
It is important to note that the characteristics of the construction systems and their link to the components of the model can be shared in a project on the BIMserver.center platform. Thermal and acoustic simulation tools can read it and incorporate it into their analysis models, provided that the version of these tools used is version 2024.e or later.
