File Type option in Export Building Components has disappeared

[Anonymous]

I try to export a file as an IFC file but to my surprise the File Type option in Export Building Components has disappeared.

Thanks for the effort to take 😉

Hello hborra,
The functions around BIM in Inventor seemed to be changed in R2018.
Here is the detail description.

Thanks,

Hi Hans,

Looks your Inventor version is earlier than 2018, it is because Autodesk Revit Interoperability for Inventor 201X is not installed in your machine, so there is no other file types, the default export type is .adsk. You can find your Inventor install media to reinstall the component.
