Indeed, myself I frankly never use psets. I could never understand how the overweight caused by duplicating a same pset hundred times for each element is beneficial...
However, that might be the problem, exactly: Since these psets are a huge, bulky monster, nobody uses them. Some people, however, would like a handy manner to add some custom properties to their objects, and that these properties would be exported to IFC. And that looks useful to me. A simple example, you would want a concrete element to have a "Chamfer" property, and would like that property to be in the IFC file.
Maybe for each discipline, like architectural, people can discuss the most commonly used attributes and put it in the data tab, which may or may not have equivalent in IFC ?, otherwise it is like search in a list of tens or even more is waste of time.
(E.g. I almost gave in immediately when I click the IfcType of the BuildingPart / Floor
)
- Floor Finishes
- Wall Finishes (maybe for each wall surface)
- Ceiling Finishes
- Door Material / Finishes
- Window glass materials / type
- Window frame materials
- ...
I also wonder if the thickness of the finishes needs to be modelled - kind of waste of lots of time to do this ?
Thanks
