Settings for IFC export from Allplan<\/h2>\n\n

To ensure that the IFC export to NOVA AVA works properly, it is best to create your own exchange profile for NOVA AVA. To do this, navigate to “IFC export settings | Exchange profiles”. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
    \n
  1. First select the “IFC4 Standard Export” exchange profile via “Browse…”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Briefly check whether file type “IFC 4” and format “.ifc” are selected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Rename the exchange profile to “IFC Export NOVA AVA”, for example, so that you do not accidentally overwrite “Standard”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Then go through the various sections<\/s> of the exchange profile.<\/p>\n\n

    \n

    Start with “Coordinates and length parameters”. You don’t need to change anything here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Under “Element filter”, you specify which element or object types are to be exported. Only types that can be transferred in accordance with IFC are available for selection. Make sure that “Projectile” and “2D elements” are deactivated. Also turn off “Furniture and oth. Equipment” – unless you explicitly need it for your cost planning and tendering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
