Creating an XML Mapping File

You can easily create an XML file that defines the mapping of custom Pset (Property set) /Qto (Quantity Take Off) attributes to standard Pset/Qto attributes in a XML file stored in Data Setup.

  1. Start the Batch Monitor and select ImportIfcCustMap.

    For more information, see Batches.

  2. In Object Selection, select the IFC file that contains the custom Property Set that requires the mapping, and click Run.
    An IFC Pset/Qto mapping XML file is created and stored in CATTemp.
    • It does not contain any geometry nor structure, only the XML elements.
    • Whenever a corresponding 3DEXPERIENCE attributes has been found, the mapping is done.
    • The missing mappings are marked with xxx.
  3. Edit the XML file and replace xxx with the proper attributes.

    Note: Avoid mapping two custom attributes with one single standard attribute.
