Overwrite File Header Information

[rayray4105]

Hi,

Is there a way to overwrite the value for 'Organization' ? There a lot of options available in IFCExportConfiguration but I can't seem to find File Header information.

regards, Raymond

There is an option in the export dialog and it allows you to specify the Organization and Author information in the header (see attached) That should work.

I know about the dialog, but I would like to overwrite using the API.

to overwrite the FileHeader using the API you should do this:

`import clr from System.Collections.Generic import *

clr.AddReference("RevitAPI") import Autodesk.Revit.DB as RvtDB

clr.AddReference("RevitAPIUI") import Autodesk.Revit.UI as RvtUi import Autodesk.Revit.UI.Selection as RvtUiSelection

clr.AddReference("RevitServices") from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath("C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\IFC 2023.bundle\Contents\2023\IFCExporterUIOverride.dll") import BIM.IFC.Export.UI as IFCExporterUI

clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath("C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\IFC 2023.bundle\Contents\2023\Revit.IFC.Common.dll") import Revit.IFC.Common as IFCCommon

uiApp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication uiDoc =DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIDocument doc = uiDoc.Document activeView = doc.ActiveView

FileHeaderItem

fileHeaderItem = IFCCommon.Extensions.IFCFileHeaderItem(doc) fileHeaderItem.AuthorName = "Axel Gehring" fileHeaderItem.AuthorEmail = "axel.gehring@bimotion.de" fileHeaderItem.Organization = "BiMOTiON GmbH" fileHeader = IFCCommon.Extensions.IFCFileHeader() fileHeader.UpdateFileHeader(doc,fileHeaderItem) #ForUpdate the DataStorage Object in the RVT (useful, if you open up the Exporter UI) IFCCommon.Utility.OptionsUtil.FileHeaderIFC = fileHeaderItem #To Write the FileHeader in the IFC File`
