IFC Properties

In one sentence: Attach and edit IFC property sets (Pset_*) on document objects for full IFC data compliance.

Common mistakes and pitfalls

Custom FreeCAD properties are not exported as IFC Psets

Properties added directly via the FreeCAD Properties panel are not IFC property sets. They will not appear in IFC export. Use this panel to attach official Pset_* sets.
