As shown in the following table, most common building objects imported from an IFC file are created as the corresponding AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset objects in the resulting drawing file. However, in the case of an IFC object with complex geometry that does not directly correspond to the components of its AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset counterpart, a custom display block is created in the model display representation. Therefore, 3D geometry in the Model display representation may not always correspond exactly to the Plan display representation.

|---|---|
| IfcBeam | Beam |
| IfcColumn | Column |
| IfcCurtainWall | Curtain wall |
| IfcDoor | Door |
| IfcElementAssembly | Multi-view block |
| IfcOpening | Opening |
| IfcMember | Brace |
| IfcRailing | Multi-view block |
| IfcRamp | Multi-view block |
| IfcRoof (object with geometry) | Multi-view block |
| IfcSlab | Slab |
| IfcSlab (object with predefined type of Roof or an aggregate of slabs such as a gabled roof) | Roof slab |
| IfcSpace | Space |
| IfcStair | Multi-view block |
| IfcWall | Wall |
| IfcWallStandardCase (an upright wall with uniform thickness) | Wall |
| IfcWindow | Window |
| IfcBuildingElementProxy (for example, IFC objects that represent furniture) | Multi-view block |
When you import all other IFC objects with a 3D geometric representation (for example, IFC objects that represent pipes or ducts), AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset creates a multi-view block.
