Trimble Connect User Forum

with object selection mode set to parts, if i right click a beam and click to see its attributes and then click a plate, the attributes window still display beam attributes and not plate attributes. it doesn't switch as it should.

to view plate attributes, user has to right click the plate and click top row, only then plate attributes will display.

very inconvinient bug.

i hope this is the right place to submit it so it gets fixed.

That content is likely inside the Steel Fabrication IFC and not a bug inside Trimble Connect, open the full attribute name to see if that indeed is the main part profile name. To me it looks like your detailer has added extra attributes for exported objects and you can ask them to remove them when they create the IFC export.

sadly no, it has nothing to do with additional attributes.

here, without additional attributes it's the same behaviour. i attach an ifc this time

where do i report bugs to the software development team?
