IFC Parameters when converting from Inventor

Hi,

 

I'm trying to convert an Inventor model into an IFC with model properties attached that I need to include for the project I'm working on but can't seemed to get them to come through when I've opened up the IFC in Revit. 

 

Any help appreciated.

Did you check the Model Property for export the BIM component? You can find the setting like below:

Hi Rocky,

 

Thanks for your reply. 

 

Yes done something similar to that but in export building components as I'm currently still using inventor 17.

 

I ticked the model properties to export but when I open it in Revit the IFC parameters are not there.

For model properties, Area/Center of Gravity/Mass/Volume/Density/Material/Request Accuracy are not exported. And other properties with value are exported.

Could you check which properties are not exported? It will be great if you can provide an exported ifc file.

Paul

Like Paul said, it would be greast if you can provide a simple sample data here or direct to me via [email protected].

Thanks!

I checked the parameters in some free viewers("ifcviewer" and "BIM Vision") and did see them. 

But I can find out them in Revit.
