The Import IFC to Indoor Dataset works quite nice. Yet I have a question about the choice of categories that are imported by default.
It looks like that only walls, curtainwallpanels, windows, plates, doors, stairs, plates are imported, but not railings, furniture etc.
Especially railings would be super important, as they serve as barriers when creating pathways (e.g. when there are galleries or areaways).
Is there a way to add them later to the indoors model, and if so, what would be the workflow?
Best,
Annina
Edit: The workaround I found, is to use the BIM to geodatabase tool, then "create multipatch footprint", then "feature to lines" (make sure you keep all the necessary attributes), then calculate an additional field for "LEVEL_ID" that matches your indoor LEVEL_ID", and then finally append them to the details (using field map to match the use_type and other attributes if necessary). But this quite a hassle and not really convenient if you want to automate updating the indoor db... So, I'm still open for better solutions...
