Question

Hi, I have an ifc file and there are attributes like volume, width, height etc . I can't see them in fme. I even tried to expand the format attributes. Does this mean that reading IFC files is limited to a certain number of attributes?

Hi,

I have an ifc file and there are attributes like volume, width, height etc . I can't see them in fme. I even tried to expand the format attributes. Does this mean that reading IFC files is limited to a certain number of attributes? 

How can I turn on the visibility of these attributes? Is it possible?

I've attached a screenshot. The attributes I want to process are in a red box.

 

Regards,

Aneta

@aneta​ Try the GeometryPropertyExtractor.

In the inspector you will find the entries on the bottom of the Feature information list

IFC Geometry Traits
