IFC Quantities¶
In one sentence: View and verify the IFC BaseQuantities computed for all elements before export.
Overview¶
Workbench: BIM
Menu: Manage → Manage IFC Quantities
Command: BIM_IfcQuantities
IFC elements carry BaseQuantities — standardised geometric measurements that receiving applications can use without recomputing from geometry. The IFC Quantities panel shows the computed values for all elements and lets you verify or override them before export.
Standard quantity names¶
| IFC class | Standard quantities |
|---|---|
| IfcSlab | GrossArea, NetArea |
| IfcWall | GrossVolume, NetVolume |
| IfcBeam | Length |
| IfcColumn | Length |
