The fix
How to fix Missing property set in your authoring tool
Concrete, tool-specific steps. The check itself is schema-agnostic and works for IFC2x3, IFC4, IFC4x1 and IFC4x3.
| Authoring tool | How to fix |
|---|---|
| Revit | Add the missing parameters and map them to the required Pset via a User Defined PropertySets file referenced in the IFC export setup. |
| ArchiCAD | Define the required Pset in the Property Manager, assign it to the relevant classifications, and map it in the IFC Translator. |
| Tekla | Add the properties as UDAs and map them to the required Pset in the IFC export additional property sets. |
| Allplan | Create the attributes and map them to the required Pset in the IFC export configuration. |
How it works
Find and fix it in the browser
The whole flow runs client-side — your IFC file never leaves your machine.
01
Open your IFC file
Open IFC Viewer Online and drag & drop your IFC file. It is parsed locally in your browser via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded.
02
Run the Health Score validation
Run validation. The "Missing property set" check (RULE_MISSING_PROPERTY_SET) flags every affected element and pinpoints it in the model tree.
03
Re-validate
Re-export from your authoring tool and re-run validation to confirm the issue is resolved and your Health Score improved.
