The most probable activity you will be doing is to search searching for an IfcItem; Before being able to search for for ifcitems of a project, you need to understand the structure of each ifcitem.
- A project is made of one or multiple ifc files http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/specifications/ifc-overview
- Each Ifc File is made of several Objects with different types, which we call in our application : IfcItem
- Each IfcItem has common properties such as Id, Label, Name , GlobalId and Type.
- Each IfcItem has a set of various properties;
- Each property is characterized by Key, Name, Category and ValueType
- In BimPoint, Each IfcItem can have two differents kind different kinds of set of properties
- READONLY properties ; these are properties extracted from Ifc File and their keys start with "pXXXX", ie p2, p3
- READWRITE properties; these properties are user properties defined by user in our system; their keys start with "upXXXX" i.e up1, up252

Before searching, it is good to now know all IfcItem Property categories; they don't change very often so you can cache them in your own database.
