Export to IFC - PV25

8.5 Export to IFC

This option will allow us to export the photovoltaic panels project to IFC. The operation of the command is similar to the BIM option > Export to IFC, with the particularity that it will additionally read the trackers of the current project and export them to IFC.

We have the possibility, if desired, to add more surface area or roads if we have defined them.

Once this window has been validated, the IFC file will be created where both the photovoltaic panels and their poles will be represented with the BuildingElementProxy object.

In the following image you can visualize, once the IFC file has been created, the visualization of it in an IFC viewer, in this case BIM Vision.

The various elements of the tracker are represented in detail. On one side the photovoltaic panel and on the other hand the poles, distinguishing with another color the motor poles from the simple ones. Each of these objects, in turn, has its own properties.
