BIM X – IFC Parameter Explorer
AI-generatedSummary
Extracts and lists IFC parameters from an IFC file contained in a binary input property, offering output as a list or consolidated object for further processing or drag-and-drop usage.
Inputs
- binaryPropertyName (required) — Specifies the name of the binary property containing the IFC file to be processed.
- maxExamples — Limits the maximum number of example values shown per key, defaulting to 1.
- outputMode — Controls the output format: as multiple items (one per key), a single flat object, or a single object grouped by parameter sets.
- valueStyle — Determines whether to output the full parameter key or only the leaf name as field values.
Output shape
a list of JSON items or a single JSON object depending on outputMode, each containing IFC parameters with sample values extracted from the IFC file
If outputMode is 'items', multiple items are returned, each for one parameter key. If 'flat' or 'grouped', a single item is returned containing all parameters either as flat fields or grouped by parameter set. An error is thrown if the specified binary property does not contain valid IFC data.
Examples
Example 1: Extract parameters from IFC binary and get grouped output with full keys
