4.0 Object Properties & Property Grouping

This section of the standard defines the properties that should be assigned to a BIM object. It also discusses the grouping of properties and the assignment of properties to object types or object instances.

4.6 Classification properties

  4.6 Classification properties
This sub-section of the standard defines properties to be assigned to an object to classify the object type. As there is no universally adopted classification system, this sub-section allows for the application of multiple classification systems.
   
 4.6.1
Classification system properties
 

Multiple classification systems can be assigned to an object by including the set of properties in Table 4D for each classification required.
NOTE: Substitute <ClassificationSystemName> in the property name for the required classification system and table designation, if applicable. For example, OmniclassTable23 Examples in Table 4D have used Omniclass Table 23.
