Is there a way to add an IFC class to a collection?

    Nope but if you look at IfcProject, IfcSite, IfcBuilding you will see that they contain an empty object (Plain Axes) which is there only to receive the IfcClass and data related to the collection which contains it.

  • As a workaround, i just copied an existing 'empty object' from IfcBuilding and renamed it the same name as the collection and then move it into that collection.
    Hope that works.

  • Although Blender can store data on a collection, it is not visible in the UI. Therefore, the approach used is to have this empty object. The workaround you mentioned is not a workaround, it is the intended workflow :) An empty object is any semantic object that doesn't have a physical representation.
