Colors in IFC models

Post by mashaka »

Is that true that current IFC importer doesn't support colors in buildings?

I have moved your topic from Development/Arch to Help on using FreeCAD, since your question doesn't seem (to me) to involve development.

It is true. I must implement that at some moment. The problem is that it's rather complicated, there are multiple ways to set colors to objects in IFC (by material, by surface property, etc...) and each application does its own particular way...
