Hi all,
The default bend size generated is to reduced, Is there a way?
I think it's still in the 'to-do' list, it would be a useful feature to have (set radius and angle like 90/45 of fitting to join segments)
The same applies to use Tee and Wye junctions.
Resources are eerily scarce, we need to be patient and contribute as much as possilble I guess.
EDIT: you can add premade fittings, a bit tedious but feasible
This is Bricscad BIM version.
But it looks like I can't change the Standard, to EU or DIN, anymore in that latest version (?)
But I am no more sure if it's really about global universal standard definitions .... or if these Settings are about just for adding a corespondent Geometry Object from a Parts Library (?)
BricsCAD 3D components are not fully compatible with BIM and IFC export. In particular, Pipes and Elbows are classified as mechanical parts and appear to have been created for use in BricsCAD Mechanical.
However, they are parametric parts and parameters can be added on the BricsCAD DWG. They should be editable by changing the UI in the status bar from BIM to 3D. It would be moderately difficult to create your own national standards other than ANSI and DIN from scratch.
Of the many BIM software packages, BricsCAD BIM has better support for IFC, but it still needs more support.

Have you tried V25 or V25.2 ?
I am not that experienced with the MEP tools and have not IFC test exported but for me it looks like proper IFC tagging (?)
These are Linear Solids with a chosen Profile from the HVAC or Piping Standards
IFC tagging looks OK for me.
(Not much Info in it, mostly same in BC though. But at least adding the Profile name for the name would have been nice)
(*) But one Fitting looks pretty messed up :)
(*) I think the problem was that the last Segments were drawn slightly off of 90° angles. (In XY and/or Z axes) It looked like it would lock to the axis but I better had pressed SHIFT in POLAR Mode, to really lock to an axis.

It would be nice to be able to use various modelling tools via IFC.

I think there may be HVAC standards like ..... elbow radius = 2 times of pipe diameter or such (?)
Like in Settings of my other BIM :
Which is the software!

OK, here comes the IFC 4x3 :

Great modelling. It would be better with the following entitie predefind type enum and pset settings.
Hmmh, Vectorworks puts in more data, but uses "IfcDistributionFlowElement" Class .... Name/Object Type "HVAC Elbow Duct"
But I have no clue of Duct work - beside Duct Tape.
