We really should just collect all these links in one place so that the next time we can just point them to the list, and you can just see which one applies to your scenario. This has cropped up many, many times already on this forum, and on other forums.

Long story short, Revit has problems with colours and materials. Maybe some of the parameters like IfcPresentationItem, IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle or IfcSurfaceStyle will work, but I need to know how to use them.Ĭan I associate any of these parameters as a shared family parameter and determine a color for the element (as I do with IfcPresentationLayer to determine the Layer)? My intention is to create a parameter that also specifies the color that it will appear in ArchiCAD. When I import this IFC file into ArchiCAD, it will have the “Pipe connection” layer. Now I need to control the colors that will appear in ArchiCAD.įor example, a cold water pipe connection in Revit contains the parameter IfcPresentationLayer = Pipe connection. I’m mapping the layers of each type of system in Revit, so that in ArchiCAD everything is organized. In archiCAD (hot water = beige, cold water = blue, sewage = blue) In Revit filters (hot water = red, cold water = blue, sewage = green) These infrequent sponsored emails help us to provide our Xpresso newsletter for free.Hello friends! I am a beginner working with IFC and I have a question.Ĭan anyone tell me which IFC parameter allows me to control the graphic colors of the surface of objects in Revit that I want to be shown in other BIM software?įor example, I want that in a Hydrosanitary project that I did using Revit, which I have exported to IFC, the sewer pipes are green and those of cold water blue when opened in ArchiCAD.
