The IFC Manager Dialog, can be displayed by activating the File... File Special... IFC
2x3... IFC Manager menu command. This dialog now includes a new filter that helps you view
only IFC elements relevant to the current View of the Project.
This simple toggle can be very useful in more rapidly finding an working with elements listed
in the IFC Manager Dialog.
Normally, the IFC Containment Structure of the IFC Manager displays all IFC elements
of the Project. You can see all Stories and IFC Element Types displayed within the
hierarchical view.
If you click the List Visible Elements Only button, the whole IFC Containment Structure
is refreshed and only those elements will be included in it that are visible in the
currently active View. This way you can filter the Dialog to only list those elements you
actually see in the current View.
The containment structure now lists only two Stories as all elements currently visible
in the Ground Story have Story 0 or Story -1 as their Home Story.
The Dialog preserves the state of this filter so if you leave the IFC Manager Dialog and
later return to it, items will still be listed by that last state of this toggle button.
