This text-based configuration template defines custom IFC property sets for Revit export, ensuring consistent data mapping across projects. This asset provides the structured syntax required by the Revit IFC exporter to map internal model parameters to industry-standard IFC property sets. It defines the hierarchical relationship between the PropertySet name, the specific property names, and the corresponding Revit parameter types or shared parameters. By establishing these definitions in a standard text format, the file allows BIM managers to extend the default IFC export schema to include project-specific or office-standard data. It serves as the foundational logic for consistent data exchange between Revit and other IFC-compliant software, maintaining data integrity during model translation.

The download is a single file containing .TXT files.

To implement this configuration, locate the IFC export settings within the Revit interface and navigate to the Property Sets tab. Load this text file to override or append to the default mapping definitions. Ensure that all shared parameters referenced within the document are correctly loaded into the project file to prevent mapping errors during the export process. This workflow ensures that custom parameters are correctly exported to the intended IFC entities without requiring manual intervention for every model iteration.

This template is essential for BIM coordinators and lead architects managing complex data exchange workflows in large-scale residential, commercial, or industrial projects. It is particularly useful during the documentation and coordination stages where precise IFC data delivery is a contractual requirement. Professionals use this to standardise project data, facilitate seamless collaboration with consultants using non-Revit software, and ensure compliance with openBIM standards. It pairs effectively with custom shared parameter files to create a robust and repeatable data management strategy for any BIM-enabled practice.
