Hi guys, At work we are currently working on IFC classification but the one embedded with Sketchup (v2.3) is too old for us. We already have the classification that we want to use, and we are able to load it, build our components and fill in the fields that we wnat to use. Unfortunately, when we w…

Scroll down to the section “Importing, exporting, and deleting classifications” in the following URL: Classifying Objects | SketchUp Help Some philosophers say that naming something is the first step toward figuring out what makes that thing different from all the other things in the w…
