dear all,
does anyone knows or heard about a plugin and/or script that would automatically group similar elements in each IFC building storey?
In the IFC hierachy, each IFCbuildingstorey contains a list of all the elements.
We need to group similar komponents, walls, beams …
We always did it “by hand” so far but this is a time consuming task that surely can be automatise
Thanks for any advice and tipp

With Ifc Manager you only have to select the components you want to attach to a Building Storey and the extension creates the storey and include them to it.
Jan just updated the plugin, so you might want to go here - Releases · BIM-Tools/SketchUp-IFC-Manager · GitHub
that is not what I ment/search.
It´s not about creating an ifc withing sketchup, but working with an IFC after importing it.
I then want to change the hierarchy by grouping similar komponent, I am searching for a solution in order not to do it manually
for exemple: in each storey, one group for all the walls, one group for all the beam etc …
I guess this can be done by a ruby script.
Does anyone knows such a script? or mayber an extension?
Would it work for you if a tag is assigned to each category or do you need a group for each label at each level?
This extension make a tag for each category
You can hide or unhide them but the outliner will be as you show it.
I indeed need a group for each label at each level …
Well, you have no choice but to make a script. It is possible but it takes time and does not seem to have much use since it is too specific.
fingers crossed that ChatGPT will help me writting the script …
Have you looked into 5d plus auto tag?
