Manipulate IFC property sets

Hi, I'm recently working on a workflow that creates a customs IFC property set and pushes it back to an IFC file. I have gone through all the materials I can find online but still encountered a problem.

 

The GeometryPropertySetter successfully outputs the traits I intend to set (see column 1&2 in the attached image) but for some reason they can not be written in the IFC file. I can supply more info if required.

 

Does anyone know what is causing this? Thanks a lot.

Hello @j_pczx​, sorry to hear you haven't been able to write property sets with FME Form yet. Have you used the IFCPropertySetDefinitionCreator to define the new/custom property sets before writing? Check out the following AutoCAD to IFC Conversion Example (specifically section: Creating the Property Set Definitions). There is also a workspace template attached to the article (dwgtoifc.fmwt), you can use this to see how the transformer should be configured! Let me know if you have any other related questions. Happy to help, Kailin.
