Smarter IFC data handling with Type-to-Instance inheritance 🏗️

Working with IFC data just got a whole lot easier. We’ve improved how AnkerDB handles the relationship between Types and Instances, making your data more consistent and much simpler to work with across the platform.

From now on, all instances will automatically inherit properties from their corresponding types. This removes a lot of manual setup and gives you a more predictable and structured dataset to work with. Here is what this means for you:

Direct Property Inheritance: Instances now automatically inherit both IFC schema properties and custom properties from their types, ensuring consistent data across all elements.

Simplified workflows: Makes validations, tables, and enrichment easier to set up and maintain.

Important note: To take advantage of this update, you’ll need to re-import your IFC models. The changes are applied during import, so existing models won’t be affected until they are updated.
