XS_IFC_EXPORT_OBJECT_LAYER_FROM_UDA

This advanced option must be set in an initialization (.ini) file.

Use this advanced option to define for the IFC2x3 export the layer name of an object in an IFC file using a predefined UDA. Using this advanced option requires that you have selected the option Layer names as part names in the IFC2x3 export settings. By default, the value is empty, and the part name is used as the layer name.

The UDA name is case sensitive, so you need to check how the UDA name is written in the objects.inp file. By default, the objects.inp file is located in C:\ProgramData\Tekla Structures\Work\Environments\common\inp.

Enter the following in an .ini file:

set XS_IFC_EXPORT_OBJECT_LAYER_FROM_UDA=<UDA>

Replace the <UDA> with the UDA of your choice.

Example: The UDA input field “Fabricator name” is defined as “fabricator” in objects.inp, so enter the UDA as follows:

set XS_IFC_EXPORT_OBJECT_LAYER_FROM_UDA=fabricator
