Welcome to the guide on assembling project files with SDS 2

Step 1: Export the project IFC file from SDS2

1.1 Select the Import/Export Tab.

1.2 Under “Model” Select “Export Model”.

1.3 Export file format should be IFC2x3.

1.4 Destination – Select the desired location of the output file and file name. We suggest using the project name in the file.

1.5 Select the “Properties” button to review the additional settings.
1.6 Select “Export holes”.

Step 2: Export the project KSS file from SDS2

2.1 Select the Import/Export Tab.

2.2 Under “MRP” Select “KISS”.

2.3 Select the desired destination and KISS folder name.

Now you have both IFC and KISS files. Let's complete the final steps!

Step 3: Get PDF files from your detailer that contain assembly drawings

It's fine if there are no PDF files, and you only have IFC and KISS files, however, if you need/want to have PDF files with the drawings, please get them from the detailer.

Step 4: Archive all the files into ZIP within your device

4.1 Locate all the files/folders that you want to zip within your devise.

• IFC and KISS files are required;
• PDF files are optional, but feel free to upload them for your convenience.

4.2 Press and hold (or right-click) the file or folder, select (or point to) Send to, and then select Compressed (zipped) folder.

That ZIP file is your ready to upload project.

🎉 Congrats! Your project ZIP is ready! 📄📧
