To access the Object to Item Occurrence Configuration panel, select the following within the dRofus Menu:
...
The main difference between the Zone <-> Room Configuration Editor and the Object <-> Item Occurrence Configuration Editor dialogs dialog panels is that (unlike Zones), Objects do not have a common set of parameters. This is why the list of available ArchiCAD parameters within the Object <-> Item Occurrence Configuration Editor dialog contains parameters only pertaining to the currently selected Object (or the default Library Part if there are no Objects selected, or only the common parameters if multiple-selected Objects have different sets of parameters).

| It matters what Object is currently selected The choice of selected Object (or set as default) is important when you openthe Object <-> Item Occurrence Configuration Editor dialog panel is opened. Only parameters from the Library Part of the currently selected Object will be available within the dialog. In addition, IFC properties will not appear within the Object <-> Item Occurrence Configuration Editor dialog, unless you select at least one Object prior to opening the dialog. This also applies prior to carrying out the Sync Instance Data with dRofus command. |
This means that you may want to create different configurations for parameters based on different groups of Objects. An example of such a configuration is shown below:
...
When you create a configuration for one type of Object (e.g. Chairs) and then switch to another type (e.g. Beds) and then re-open the Object <-> Item Occurrence Configuration Editor dialog again dialog, you will note that some ArchiCAD parameters defined in the configuration will be marked as "Missing parameters". It means that the currently selected Object type does not contain these parameters. However, this configuration can still be used for linking and synchronizing Object Instances. It just means that writing in to or from those missing parameters will be skipped for those Object Instances that don't contain these parameters, but will be updated for the other Object Instances at the time of synchronization.
...
The dRofus Addon always has a configuration called "Default" for Object <-> Item Occurrence Configurations. This "Default" configuration cannot be edited, but you can copy it and then make modifications to the copied configuration.
If you set another configuration as default, the configuration called "Default" will actually no longer be the default configuration.
