Add/delete/edit names of attributes of an object

Hello everyone!
I'm pretty new to bonsai.
I'm trying to add/remove/edit names of attributes of an object but can't find the buttons to accomplish that. It's also missing as a "bulk" editor option. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
Dennis

    Hi @mastrolube

    Hello everyone!
    I'm pretty new to bonsai.
    I'm trying to add/remove/edit names of attributes of an object but can't find the buttons to accomplish that. It's also missing as a "bulk" editor option. Am I doing something wrong?

    after editing the fields click on Save Attributes
    to apply the same data in bulk, once the elements are selected, click on the arrow-to-folder icon as below:

    Hello! Thanks for your reply!
    Is it possible to add new attributes or delete them?
    For example a new key:value -> Test: test_value

    Thanks!

    @mastrolube
    as @JanF rightly advised, this is the relevant snippet (short answer is NO, you cannot edit/add attributes more than what specified in IFC)

    But you can create custom properties more than what already available
    Please advise

    Yes, I thought it was related to the parent class. I'm not sure if it's possible to edit the class itself to have more attributes.
    Thanks for your help guys :)

    if you don't know it already please go to this page where you can find all classes available in IFC4x3add2 with relevant Attributes, at the bottom of each class you can also find applicable Property sets

    One last question: How can I give objects the same name? Bonsai adds .xxx to make it unique. Is this avoidable?

  • steverugisteverugi

    AFAIK the Outliner shows names from Blender, the one assigned to Ifc Elements is in Object Metadata > Attributes
    again select them and click on the arrow-to-folder icon before Save Attributes

    test the names in the same panel after editing, they shouldn't show the .xxx suffix

    Hello!

    Actually it's also the name in the IFC :(

    How to globally change the names...
    There's actually a bug here, as it doesn't change the 'active' object.
    I'd be curious to learn how you got the ifc name to increment like this, in the first place.

    Hi there! Actually, I do exactly the same thing as you, but the result is different.
    Take a look at the video

    You're on different Bonsai version than Ryan's, see right bottom part of the screen in Blender.

    Um, ok, I didn't notice. :)
    I'm on the latest official release. Probably this bug was fixed on 0.8.1 (which is flagged as unstable))
    Thank you for noticing that

    EDIT: I installed the 0.8.1 following this tutorial and it's fixed ;)
