INQ: Mapping the material of walls to user defined psets

Inquiry description

... Hi! I'm new to writing user defined psets and need help with mapping the Strucutral material under the "Material and Finishes" heading.

I guess my issue is that i dont know what parameter needs to be mapped, and what ifc element(?) to be used. Do i make sense??

Are you trying to create a property set associated with an IFC wall for "Structural Material"?

[oliwerweber]

Yes, i need to get the "Structural Material" for walls to show up in a custom property set. Below is a snippet of my property set that im playing around with, along with questions.

PropertySet:	Test	T(not sure if its type or instance?)	IfcWall
	MaterialTest					Text(im not sure if its supposed to be Text or Label?)		Structural Material(This is where i get stuck)

PropertySet: Test I IfcWall MaterialTest Text Structural Material

So it is an instance parameter because you see it on the instance, not type properties in Revit. You can call it MaterialTest, but if you do then you have to say what the material is called in Revit, with a tab after Text. The difference between Text and Label is that text can be 64k characters and labels only 255.
