Link IFC2x3 supported IFC solid model geometry entites?

klqa_test — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 09:11:14 GMT

Hello,

What are IFC solid model geometry entities that are supported in Link IFC2x3, in Revit 2020?

I've tried few of these that are working such as IFCFACETEDVBREP. IFCEXTRUDEDAREASOLID and IFCREVOLVEDAREASOLID. But IFCSURFACECURVEAREASOLID does not work.

Hi @klqa_test

See Autodesk IFC manual:

Thanks for the info.

The document mentioned about SweptSolid, I thought IFCSurfaceCurveSweptAreaSolid should works with Link IFC.

However, it is not visible in Link IFC.

Hi Klqa,

Looks like this explains the reason for the failure:
