Element Information

[shapeless]

Hey there,

There are some fields in the element info where I don’t quite understand their purpose (not because I question them but because I simply don’t know).

What is to be put in the following fields by the different disciplines?

• description
• system
• model categories

description
The description fields shows the description value of element defined in the IFC model…

system
The system field shows which system the element belongs.
It is usually available for building service elements like ducts and pipes.
The system can be e.g. “Outgoing Air”.

model categories
The model categories field shows which model categories the model of element belongs.
It is filled only when the user have set models to categories.
They can be edited using the command from popup menu of the model tree.
The model categories can be e.g. “Building Services”
