[workaround] Ifc import with original line colors?

Post by thomas-neemann »

e.g. for electrical planning with ifc files, it would be very useful to import the original colors. when i import an ifc file with colored lines, all lines are in the current color. is there a workflow in which the original colors are imported?

Apparently, the last color used when drawing all lines the same color when exporting. when importing into freecad, all lines were changed to the currently set color.

the color set when exporting doesn't matter

while it is, here is a suggested workaround:

the lines are shown in black, but the symbols of the devices are colored. here a distinction is made between 220v blue and 380v red
