MicroMVDs for exchange requirements/Quantity take-off MicroMVD

The following MicroMVD vocabulary can be used to ensure that data is present for basic dimensional quantity take-off.

• Concrete material: "Concrete" in IfcMaterial.Category
• Concrete construction method: Pset_ConcreteElementGeneral.ConstructionMethod
• Strength class: Pset_ConcreteElementGeneral.StrengthClass
• Compressive strength: IfcMaterial.Pset_MaterialConcrete.CompressiveStrength
• Wall load bearing: Pset_WallCommon.LoadBearing – True/False
• Wall acousting rating: Pset_WallCommonAcousticRating – Rw / Rw + Ctr
• Wall fire rating: Pset_WallCommon.FireRating -/-/-

Feature: Quantity take-off
