Now, one more thing - I think you will not be able to export the texture part into IFC as I think this part of the IFC schema is not supported in Archicad export options.GRAPHISOFT® ignited the BIM revolution in 1984 with ARCHICAD®, the industry first BIM software for architects. If you don't use the pre-set v2.0 classification system you will need to set this mapping based on a custom translator and archicad properties one by one youself via File > Interoperability > IFC > IFC Translators, but I would recommend you to use the existing classification system, make a translator-set copy and do whatever customizations you need based on this translator. In AC26 you need to apply the material classification - Options > Element Attributes > Building Materials - you already created a new material here, now in this UI window, under the Classification and Properties > Classifications you need to assign the correct material type using the Archicad v2.0 Classification system, which is pre-mapped to ifc entities. Mapping the material is important only if you want to export your project to ifc in such way that you have the material data included.

Now you can use this material just like any other pre-set material in your project. You can create a new material and apply the imported texture file to this material - the texture must be loaded into the project library. If you import some marble tiles from BIMobject, you will most likely get some different tile formats in vertical ond/or horizontal placement in an ifc file - this is a digital showroom which you can't use on a running project. Or is it a material with the associated texture you want to import?Īn ifc file includes element geometry and data associated to this element. I don't know what you want to achieve with this imported texture.
