Color in exported ifc files

[helge_thorsen]

why is there no colour on the ifc file i exported from Inventor 2020

Hi Helge,

I don't believe the IFC files exported from Inventor retain the color. We have a vendor with a separate IFC Export tool on our App store. Please take a look.

Hello 
IFC should export colors also, but if your assembly is very big, then your export could have some corruption. 
Please read this article, which explain how to prepare your file before export to IFC: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/Inve...
