ArchiCADモデルから関連する情報を含むArchiCADゾーンを直接dRofusデータベースにインポートすることが可能です。
この機能は、既存のArchiCADモデルからdRofusプロジェクトにデータをロードするために使用できます。また、この機能は、ArchiCADで作成されたZoneをdRofusに動的に追加するために使用されます。例えば、ArchiCADのモデルにdRofusの部屋をすべて配置した後、ArchiCADで作成したゾーン (廊下など) をすべてdRofusに追加することができます。
どんなデータを取り込むのか？
ArchiCAD アドオンの他の操作と同様に、このプロセスも有効な部屋属性設定に基づきます。デフォルトでは、デフォルトとして定義した設定が使用されますが、ゾーンのインポート用にカスタマイズした設定を作成することも可能です。その場合、"dRofusへの部屋のインポート" (Import Rooms to dRofus) ダイアログ（下図）で使用する有効な属性設定をクリックし、正しい属性設定を選択してください :
When importing Zones to dRofus the directions of all the mapped attributes within the Attribute Configuration will be reversed in order to write data FROM ArchiCAD TO dRofus. For example, if you have defined that "Notes" on a Room should go from dRofus to ArchiCAD in the active Attribute Configuration, when you carry out the ArchiCAD Zones import, it will actually push the values the other way - i.e., from ArchiCAD to dRofus. However, note that it will not update any Attributes that are read-only in dRofus (such as system or calculated attributes). These attributes will be displayed in half tone within the Attribute Configuration editor to indicate which ones cannot be updated.
dRofusのどこにゾーンをインポートすればよいのか？
Every Zone that is to be imported in to dRofus must be located somewhere within the pre-defined Function Structure. So before importing Zones into dRofus you must decide which Function and / or Sub-Function to import to.
You need to identify the Zone properties within ArchiCAD which contain Functions / Sub Functions information. In the following example, for Zones on LEVEL 9, the ArchiCAD IFC property called "Building" is used to define the 1st Function tier, "Level" as the 2nd Function tier and "Department" as the 3rd Function tier (highlighted below):
In order to view the IFC properties for Zones within the "Import Rooms to dRofus" dialog, you will need to select at least one Zone (that contains all the required IFC properties) prior to bringing up the "Import Rooms to dRofus" dialog:
Within the "Import Rooms to dRofus" dialog, you select the Zone properties that contain the Function / Sub Function definitions. You can then specify whether the values within each property contain the Name value, Number value, or both. The default is that it contains the Name only.
If the Zone property contains only the name of the Function, it will create a new Function in dRofus with that name (if it doesn't already exist) and auto-generate a number for that Function during import.
If the Zone property contains only the number of the Function, it will create a new Function in dRofus with that number (if it doesn't already exist) and leave its name empty.
An example of using Name only against the 3 levels of Functions is as follows:
There is a filter to indicate which Zone(s) to consider for importing in to dRofus as Rooms:
Checkboxes to include only specific Zone(s) and / or lowest (identified) Function(s)
Using the "Name only" option for all the 3 Function tiers, and after clicking on "Import Rooms", 1 x 2nd tier Function called "LEVEL 9" and 3 x 3rd tier Functions called "Balcony", "T&E" and "Unit" along with the 13 Room instances have now been created within dRofus as follows:
Note that the Function "LEVEL 9" has acquired "12" as its Number. This can be easily changed within the "Properties" panel on the right-hand side:

もし、ゾーンをインポートする機能/サブ機能 (あらかじめ定義された機能構造内) をまだ決めていない場合、ゾーンをdRofusの一時的な機能にインポートし、後でdRofusクライアント内の目的の機能/サブ機能に移動することが可能です。
警告
If the active Room or Space Attribute Configuration has been mapped with dRofus' "Room Name" --> ArchiCAD's "Zone Name" - "Room Name"s of the new Rooms created in dRofus will be blank and "Zone Name"s of the Zones within the model will be blanked out.
If the active Room or Space Attribute Configuration has been mapped with ArchiCAD's "Zone Name" --> dRofus' "Room Name" AND the "Disable edit room names" within dRofus Client is checked by the Project Administrator - an error message saying "Changing the list of predefined Room Names is not allowed" will appear, followed by another message saying no Rooms have been imported / created within dRofus.
If the active Room or Space Attribute Configuration has no mapping of Names between dRofus and Revit - "Room Name"s of the new Rooms created in dRofus will be blank while "Zone Name"s of the Zones within the model will remain unchanged.
