If the user notices that some of the boxes above are grey and the user is unable to tick the box. If the user directs to that box, there is a prompt to enable IFC 4×1 as per image below.

To do so, the user must modify the IFC compatibility. User may refer to **[IFC file Schema Version](https://mes100.com/docs/bim/#1-toc-title)** to change IFC version.

# **IFC file Schema Version** 

The available schema versions are IFC 4, IFC 4×1 and IFC 4×3. 

To change; go to *Options > Project Settings > Compatibility*

To export IFC file with **Tracing Drawing**, user need to make sure that IFC Schema Version is IFC 4×1 or IFC 4×3. **Road** cannot be exported to IFC at present, because IFC 4×3 is not yet fully supported for roads; its box stays grey whichever version is chosen.
