Furniture planning
DES-FURNITURE · General · Design
Maintain furniture in the model and decide location and type - schematically, without a product catalogue.
Starting point
- After layout decisions, structured furniture data is often missing for schedules, options, and coordination.
- Furniture is frequently planned only in 2D; location and type are not traceable in the model.
Goal & benefit
- Maintain furniture in the model with designation and type.
- Derive furniture planning foundations for schedules, option comparison, and alignment.
Process
- Provide interior spaces with use and dimensions.
- Place furniture schematically with Name and PredefinedType or ObjectType.
- Derive and align furniture schedules and planning foundations from the model.
Outcome
- Coordinated furniture planning from the model - without execution-grade product detail.
Deliverables
- Architecture model with IfcProject, IfcSite, IfcBuilding, and IfcBuildingStorey
- Interior spaces as modelled IfcSpace volumes (PredefinedType=INTERNAL); LongName with use; NetFloorArea as size indication
- IfcFurniture with Name and PredefinedType (IFC4+) or IfcFurnishingElement with ObjectType (IFC2x3)
