UNABLE TO VIEW IMPORTED IFC PARAMETERS

krishkumart — Fri, 31 Jul 2020 10:15:39 GMT

Tried exporting a model from TEKLA(Trimble Software) as IFC and importing it back into REVIT. When the IFC is viewed in REVIT the parameters that are supposed to be visible aren't available. In contrary when the IFC is viewed in TEKLA they're vividly available. Please suggest the method or change in settings to view those parameters in REVIT too.

Actually there's a concept of Assembly and Parts in TEKLA. I'm trying to export the properties of assemblies. When I'm using the selection type of Assembly in TEKLA I'm able to view all the intended IFC Properties. But the same is not available for visualisation in REVIT.

I'm using REVIT 2019.2 version with Commercial License.

As this is a Revit forum. I am not familiar what kind of settings are available in Tekla for export to IFC.

Few suggestions:

-No Tekla forums that could help?

-Have you used a (free) IFC viewer (Solibri, BIM Vision, FZK Viewer) to check what is available in the IFC?

-Have you tried both options in Revit. You can open an IFC and you can link an IFC

Consider uploading your IFC so we can have a look.

I've tried both REVIT Linking and adding it as IFC but no use.

I'm able to view the parameters in TRIMBLE's platform called TRIMBLE Connect but not in any other viewer.

TRIMBLE Support has been claiming that since it is visible in TRIMBLE's Softwares the issue must be at Autodesk's end.

Still dangling for solution.

Did you define proprety sets in Tekla before exporting an IFC?

Also a working with tekla models in Revit isn't easy (certainly with large warehouse models). Depending on your information need, try working with a low geometry detail level.
