Import Configuration in Template
IFC Import Settings –section
With IFC import settings you can optimize the IFC import. When you exclude information from the import this will speed up the import but the excluded information will not be available to you when you validate, copy-edit and export the model.
| Field | Type | Value | Description |

| Import 2D Annotations | Yes/No | Yes/No | 2D annotations are symbolic 2D representations of objects. |
| Import 3D Faces | Yes/No | Yes/No | Faces are needed by tools that modify the 3D geometry. They have no effect on how the IFC is exported. |
