Controls how objects are written to the export file. You can export to the CIMsteel Integration Standards 2.0 (CIS/2) or to the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) file format.
-
You can export only concrete objects such as slabs, walls, structural systems, openings on slabs and walls, footings, equipment foundations, and design equipment (with an equipment classification of civil elements or structural elements) to the IFC format.
-
Linear and curved concrete members cannot be exported to IFC. We recommend the CIS/2 format for transferring linear and curved members.
-
The International System of Units (SI) is used in the exported CIS/2 file regardless of the settings on the Tools > Options > Units of Measure tab.

You must create the section mapping file using the File > New Mapping File Command before you can use the mapping file in this command. Sample mapping files for the FrameWorks Plus AISC table are delivered with the software in the [Product Folder]\SmartPlantStructure\Symbols\StructureImportExportMaps folder. For more information, see New Mapping File.
