Export assembly as IFC

[rbertoletti]

Hi guys,

I'd like to have a rule in my assembly which can export the model in IFC format. I know that it should be firstly simplified using the "BIM Content" because in other ways it's not possible.

Thanks

I don't have the "Revit interoperability component" installed so I can't check it but it might work.

Dim fileName = "d:\temp\component.ifc"

Dim doc As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document

Try
    doc.ComponentDefinition.BIMComponent.ExportBuildingComponent(fileName)
Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox("Did you install the Revit interoperability component?")
End Try

Thanks, It create correctly the IFC file but i don't know why it export an empty file.
The assembly to export is including sub-assemblies, maybe it could be the problem?
