Is it possible to set unique IfcDescription fields for families of the same name?
I want to take the Rhino Name of an object (in this case a block) and set it to the IfcDescription. But when this is set up in GH it takes on default GH tree matching rules and sets all instances of the family to be the last value in the list.
Hi @lignindes,
Thank you for the feedback. This is something we will include in the coming updates, as the Description parameter is currently managed at the family level.
As you mentioned, this means different blocks will share the same IFC Description for now.
For now, a workaround is to create an instance parameter using the Parameters button:
This parameter can be assigned to individual instances of the same block definition:
As noted, we will update this so that the Description in the IFC parameters can be managed at an instance level and assigned directly in Grasshopper for different instances.
Thanks again for the feedback!
