Dataflow Combine Object Properties

The Combine Object Properties dataflow chains the values of two selected properties and adds a new user-defined text property within a user-defined property set. This property can be added to all objects or only to selected object classes, depending on the chosen target. This dataflow also allows you to exclude the original properties used to create the new property.

The idea is to make it possible to add properties to objects, enabling them to store the values needed for organizing and using the IFC model.
