Architectural specifications on a sheet
When documenting small-scale projects, my approach typically involves incorporating a title sheet with architectural specification notes, sectioned by discipline. I usually find this to be adequate for construction documentation and obtaining a building permit. Recently, I've contemplated creating a text-block IfcTypeProduct for each discipline, envisioning the creation of an IFC library file for all my specification sections. This would facilitate the workflow of adding specification sections to a title sheet on a project-by-project basis. However, this has sparked two questions :
- Is it advisable at all for IFC files to serve as repositories for specification text?
- What would be the optimal method for storing and adding specification text to a sheet? Should it involve schedules (notably, I'm not fond of the multi-step process required to get a schedule on a sheet), or would a bank view with annotations be a more efficient alternative?
Interested to hear how others are approaching this.

would seem to be a little painful to do it like this. If you entering all this info via BB, wouldn't you have to use a manual
\nfor every newline?...
How about just manually creating a .ODS spreadsheet with your specs and inserting the schedule onto a BB sheet?
or..
how about creating just a manual SVG in inkscape with a list of your specs, and then add it to a BB sheet, via
References?Thanks @theoryshaw , I didn’t know what References were for and could be used like that.
Agreed, for anybody reading along, the References feature is intended to reference any arbitrary document. It could be a symbol legend, a legal disclaimer stamp, site photography, etc.
