Bonsai | Copy and Paste IFC data/geometry from one IFC file to another IFC file

arunarchitect · June 16

Hi all,
I am trying to copy paste a dimension object from A.ifc to B.ifc , I have a plan view A in A.ifc and a plan view B in B.ifc. FIrst I appended the dimension from the project library load settings. It came to the Unsorted collection ,and I manually moved it to the IfcAnnotation/PLAN_B. But when I activate the drawing the dimension is hidden. How to solve this ?

This is likely because you haven't added the annotation item to the correct group of the drawing in B.
Select the item and look at panels:

Object Information - Misc - Groups (read only)
Project Overview - Grouping and Filtering - Groups (where you edit groups and assign selected object(s) to a group)

Bonsai takes care of this grouping for you in the normal use of annotations. Copy and paste requires manually fixing the groups.

See video. The key part, i think will be assigning the object to the drawing's group.
