Matching keys in dRofus and IFC

If you don't know what the name of the field you want necessary is calledunknown, save and click on a room in the model. Then choose to see "IFC data" |
When you think you have the right keys are set for the room, try to run running a "match test".” This will check the model to see how many rooms are matched using the chosen keys. If you are unsure of what fields to use, you can also choose to Use the "get suggestion" - this suggestions" tool to ask dRofus to find a match. This will look through the ifc IFC model and find likely candidates.
For The process is the same for occurrence matching and the item matching the process is the same, though you have somewhat less help, with fewer resources. To find matching fields, we recommend using a tool like Solibri Anywhere to find see what fields there are in the ifcIFC. If the IFC file contains no fields matching fields to those you have in dRofus, you will need to do create a new ifc IFC export (or Use a dRofus update from the model design file to get load the keys into dRofus).
When this is done, you should be able to se a 2d floor plan of your model on the right side, like shown below.
