IFC import into ETABS supports the following IFC objects:
- IfcBeam
- IfcColumn
- IfcSlab
- IfcStructuralCurveMember
- IfcStructuralSurfaceMember
- IfcStructuralPointConnection
NOTE:
- Structural View is recommended for import over Coordination View in that the outcome for a Coordination View is not guaranteed. The fourth line will state the view classification.
- IfcBeams and IfcColumns are Coordination View entities, and not Structural View entities, though they import correctly using Structural View if their shape representation is based on IfcSweptAreaSolid.
