Classification tagging in Archicad: get every element coded, and into IFC clean

Your model has to speak the classification standard your projects work to, TFM in Norway, and carry it into IFC without manual rework. This eLearning course shows you how to tag elements using the properties already built into your project template, and get them landing correctly in the IFC export. Self-paced, built by Nordic BIM Group specialists. Assumes you know the Archicad basics.

Who it's for

One course for people who already work in Archicad and have to deliver classified, coded models. It assumes you have the basics and a national project template to work in, so if you are brand new to Archicad, start with Archicad Fundamentals. Pick the situation that sounds like you.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-code
You tag and code elements by hand

You type classification codes into elements one by one, copy them between fields, and hope nothing was missed. You learn to drive the properties your template already carries, so elements pick up the right code as you model.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-IFC
The codes never land right in the IFC

The model looks coded, then the IFC export puts the data somewhere the recipient does not expect. You learn how the existing IFC translators map your classification into the file, so it lands where the people receiving it actually look.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-detection
You are not sure what your template already does for you

Your national project template ships with the properties and expressions for classification already set up, and most users never touch them. You learn what is in there and how to use it, instead of rebuilding it yourself.

Every project codes its own way

One project tags one way, the next another, and nobody can trust the delivery. Enrol the group, or talk to an advisor about getting the whole office coding and delivering the same way.

What you'll learn

By the end you can tag a model to the classification standard your projects require and trust that the codes survive the trip into IFC. Here is the scope.

Clients, contractors, and authorities increasingly ask for models where every element carries a classification code, so the data can be read, checked, and handed over. In Norway that standard is TFM (Tverrfaglig Merkesystem). You learn what the standard is for, what a well-coded model gives the people downstream, and where coding usually breaks down.

What people say after the course

Code it once, deliver it clean

Start the course whenever it suits you, or talk to an advisor about one way of coding and delivering across the whole office, on every project.
