Localized Text handling in IFC files has been improved.
Let us say that we enter a value with a localized character for the Fire Resistance Rating
IFC Property of the selected Walls.
Let us activate the File… Save As… command to save it as IFC format.
In the Save Dialog, select a Translator and activate its Setup Dialog.
In the Export Options panel a new field called IFC file coding is available.
Set this field to the Unicode – platform and language independent option and save the changes.
Now we can save the file and if we open it in an IFC Viewer application, select any Wall
and check its Fire Resistance Rating IFC Property we can see that the localized characters have
come through correctly.
