Add Classification Systems
In this section you can define hierarchical classification systems that are exported to IFC using dedicated classification resource of IFC.
Unlike in other sections, in this section the first row defines the classification system and the subsequent rows the items of the classification system.
You may define several classification systems in the same section by first defining the first classification system and then adding a new First Row for the second classification system followed by the subsequent rows for that classification system.
First Row
| Field | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | The name of the classification system | |
| Source | Text | The definition source of the classification system | The definition source of the classification system, i.e. the organization that has defined the classification system. |
| Edition | Text | The edition or version of the classification system | |
| Edition Date | Text | The date when the edition was published | |
| Description | Text | The description of the classification system | |
| Location | Text | URL or other reference to the definition of the classification system | |
| Reference Tokens | Text | List of delimiters | List of delimiters used for separating the hierarchy levels of the classification system in the item Identification of the classification items |
Subsequent Rows
The hierarchy of the classification system is created by indenting the rows for the classification items based on their hierarchy level in the classification system.
For the first level of the classification system the first non empty column is column D, the second non empty column E and the third non empty column F.
For the second level of the classification system the first non empty column is column E, the second non empty column F and the third non empty column G.
| Field | Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Non Empty | Text | The identification of the classification item within the classification system. | |
| Second Non Empty | Text | The name of the classification item | NOTE: The Comment in this Excel cell will be used as the description of the classification item |
| Third Non Empty | Text | URL or other reference to the definition of the classification item |
