Then open the IFC Project Manager dialogue by navigating to File > Interoperability > IFC > IFC Project Manager and complete the following:
- In the top left window in this dialogue, click the topmost level of the hierarchy (with the IFC logo) and ensure the following five attributes are checked (Name, Description, ObjectType, LongName, Phase).
