Description
The material in Revit has a density, but the base quantities in IFC only do not include weight. Weight is pretty critical in costing and LCA. Is there any way to get this data?


Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue concerns Revit material density, IFC base quantities, and weight data, with two attached screenshots. Start by reviewing how this repository exports Revit material quantities to IFC and reproduce the reported output; done means the resulting IFC exposes weight quantities suitable for costing and LCA.
