Create a user-defined property set

To include a user defined property set when exporting models to Trimble Connect, you must create a TXT file that contains all the information.

The Trimble Connect for Revit application is fully compatible with the Revit IFC export format for user defined property sets.

In order to set up user defined property sets for Trimble Connect for Revit, you can refer to your existing user defined property set file used for Revit IFC export, or create your own.

To create a new property set:

Open a text editor application and copy the code below into the file to get started:


#PropertySet: ColumnPSet 	I	IfcColumn, IfcColumnType
#		CommentsProp 				Text Comments
#		TypeCommentsProp			Text Type Comments

Start a new line and enter ‘#Property Set:’.
Select the Tab key and enter a name for the property set.
Select the Tab key and enter the level, instance [I], or type [T].
Select the Tab key and enter the IFC classes to include these properties. Each class should be separated by a comma.
```
#PropertySet: ColumnPSet	I	IfcColumn, IfcColumnType
```

In the next line, enter the property name, data type, and the property name as it appears in Revit.


#PropertySet: ColumnPSet 	I	IfcColumn, IfcColumnType
#		CommentsProp 				Text Comments
#		TypeCommentsProp			Text Type Comments

Repeat the same set of steps for all the properties to be included in the model.
Save the text file.
