IFCExportConfigurationsMap AddSavedConfigurations not working

[david_rock]

Hello,

I'm trying to add the IFC Export configurations to my IFC Exporter add on.

However when I use the following code the Saved Configurations are not added.

Using 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2018\AddIns\IFCExporterUI\IFCExportUI.dll' > Not shown at all.

Using 'C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\IFC 2018.bundle\Contents\2018\IFCExportUIOverride.dll' > Only shown once the File Export IFC command is initialised.

            Dim configurationsMap As IFCExportConfigurationsMap = New IFCExportConfigurationsMap()
            configurationsMap.Add(IFCExportConfiguration.GetInSession)
            configurationsMap.AddBuiltInConfigurations()
            configurationsMap.AddSavedConfigurations()

Any ideas why this is and what I can add to my code to initialise/force the Saved Configurations to display?

Kind Regards

David

Nope, sorry.

All the real IFC experts are discussing the nitty-gritty stuff in the open source Revit IFC forum, so you might have better luck there:

Hi,

I was having the same issue and then found this dated post, so for anyone having the same issue I found a solution.

"AddSavedConfigurations()" seems to be using a static property in "IFCCommandOverrideApplication" called "TheDocument" to load the stored configurations. This property doesn't get set until "OnIFCExport()" is called.

Because it's a private property I used reflection to set this property before calling AddSavedConfigurations():

var t = typeof(IFCCommandOverrideApplication);
t.GetProperty("TheDocument").SetValue(null, doc);
