IFCE in Fabrication CADmep 2019 produces a blank file

When i use the ifce command in Fabrication CADmep 2019, it produces a blank file. My drawing has a building full of pipe. I do have save graphics with drawing turned on. Am i missing some setting?

Look at the log file generated when importing the ifc into Navisworks. My assumption would be there is errors during the import bringing nothing in. You should see a line that says something like Elements created. This should have a count if no errors were encountered.

Thanks for the help but for ifc's we are not using navisworks. We are using solibri in this instance.

Now that i think of it, i remember having issues starting in CADmep 2018 and ifc exports. Can you go to 2017 or earlier version and see if it works. I just did a test and exported from 2017 and then from 2018 and changed the file extenstion from ifc to txt. The formatting is quite different. 2018/19 doesnt work in Naviswork (Not what you are using but i bet acts the same as Silibri) but 2017 does.
