Using the Key-in IFCOUT
The
IFC
Export tool key-in command syntax
makes use of combinations of switches and arguments.
The filename is either the IFC file path, or * to generate from the source DGN file name. If not specified, the Key-in opens the IFC Export dialog.
Options have both short and long forms. For instance, "c" or "cobie". Some options have arguments separated by a colon to control their operation. For instance, "m:FMH" or "mvd:FMH".
Option | Action | Argument values |
---|---|---|
c [cobie] | Create COBie spreadsheet | no argument |
