Are there rules for authoring applications when it comes to naming custom Property Sets (psets)? For example, is there a rule that states, “Custom pset names cannot start with ‘Qto_’ because this is reserved for buildingSMART psets only”?
If such rules exist, where can I find them?
Currently, the primary rule is that any custom Pset CANNOT be simply named “Pset_xxxxx”. The prefix must be something, anything, else and may be an identifying name like:
AASHTOBridgePset_…
CustomPropertySetbSUSA_…
MyCompanyMyProductPropSet_…
Thank you kindly for the quick reply.
Is there a source you could link or point me to?
It is in the definition of IfcPropertySet itself:
