Are details such as rebar couplers and connections required to be modelled in the IFC+SG model?

The elements should be drawn in 3D for coordination. The details or connections can be furnished in 2D.

For example, for rebar couplers, the QP may substantiate a set of 2D wall schedule drawings to present the orientation and arrangement of wall reinforcement for illustration.

Drawings of details for any irregular or complex wall section (e.g. L shape wall, D wall, retaining wall, etc.) can be submitted in 2D with the indication of the drawing number in the IFC+SG parameter “ReferTo2DDetail”.

Please refer to Section 4 of the CORENET X Code of Practice for more details.
