You can configure an Object Category for each of the seven Object Types.
[Name]
The unit to which you assign a Field Configuration.
Line 1 is entered with the Object name (e.g. Member.Concrete) as the default value and can be edited by the user.
Concrete Beam → Field Configuration A
Concrete Column → Field Configuration B
Concrete Slab → Field Configuration C
Concrete Wall → Field Configuration D
The unit to which the IFC Element is mapped.
Concrete Beam → IfcBeam
Concrete Columm → IfcColumn
Concrete Slab → IfcSlab
Concrete Wall → IfcWall
Each category can have one Field Configuration assigned to it and one IFC Element mapped to it, so you need to define as many categories as you need.
