Property sets for corridor shape information

Hello friends.
Is it possible to develop a routine to create a custom property sets of my corridor for export in IFC?
I just wanted to put some information, such as the name of the project, initial and final stake, area, type of pavement and volume.

Short answer: Yes :slight_smile:

You can create a new property set definition, apply it to selected objects, read the data from external sources or calculate it (such as volume) with dynamo, and write it back to your properties. You can even send the export to IFC command to the command line and automate that too.

What have you tried so far ? I recommend using the C3D toolkit property set nodes and you can also take a look at the sample scripts shipped with dynamo (use ironpython for the python scripts).

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I haven’t tried anything so far, I’m new to Dynamo. Thanks for the feedback.

I have been working on something like this. It is specific to our data structure, so you have to modify it according to your input data structure, but you can use it as a template. It basically does what @david_licona described, only it does not create the property sets as they are in the .dwt.
