Below the element list of the Columns, Floor slabs and External wall loads sections of the Automatic introduction IFC assistant, a 3D view of the structure is displayed with all the entities that CYPECAD reads from the IFC file.

ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED SO THEY CAN BE IMPORTED IN EACH SETION:

• In the Columns section, all the column type elements can be activated (IFCCOLUMN entity)
• In the Floor slabs and Roofs sections, floor slab and roof elements (IFCSLAB and IFCROOF entities)
• In the External wall loads, external walls and partitions (IFCWALL and IFCWALLSTANDARCASE entities).

THE ELEMENTS OF THE 3D VIEW ARE DISLAYED IN DIFFERENT COLOURS. The colours highlight the selected element of the list with respect to the rest of the elements of the current section which are displayed as activated, indicating they can be imported, not activated and those belonging to the other sections.
