# Ifc Properties

Through the BEAM panel you can assign IFC properties to Rhino objects. Family parameters are automatically converted into IFC properties during export and grouped under the property set.

For each family you can specify the IFC type, the predefined type, and a description. 

By default, it assigns these automatically using an internal mapping based on the family’s category.

You can override this behavior on a per-family basis in the panel. If set to *Automatic*, the mapping is applied; if overridden, the selected IFC type and predefined type will be used instead.
