"IFC Export Classes" file selecton in IFC.SettingAdvanced node

[Mordeton]

I would love to see a feature that lets you define a "IFC Export Classes" .txt-file found under File>Export>Options>IFC Options. Maybe this feature could be in the IFC.SettingAdvanced node? Similar to how you can select a user defined property sets file.

The usecase would be:

• Easily export multiple IFC-files for the same project but with different IFC Export Classes settings.
• Make a Dynamo graph that opens .rvt files and exports an IFC with specific classes file.

Thanks for making such a great Package for Dynamo! :)

Regards, Morten.

It seems that several fields have changed character with the latest IFC updates, but retained the field name. Of course, I have to make sure that is updated. Thanks for the warning :-)

I did some tests on the node "IFC.SettingProperty", and it did take a txt file without any problems, as it took json files previously. Meaning I did not change anything, it seems to as it is :-)

@erfajo I think there has been a misunderstanding. What i meant is a new feature where you can define a "IFC Export Classes" file which is different from a "Property Sets" File that your package already supports.

As i said, love your Dynamo package! Its the best one i've ever used :)

I see... Well, this is not a part of the IFC exporter, this is a built-in feature in Revit. I will have to code that as a node for Revit “settings”, I will look into that :-) ...and I see that you are a Scandinavian :-)

@erfajo Thank you :) Yes, I'm Norwegian!

Being able to set that file is not something Autodesk has documented in their API, so it takes a bit more research to figure out how to set that file. Therefore, unfortunately, I must, refer to it as something you must set from within Revit.
