IFC Export user defined property set - Problem with special characters

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm having some problems making my own property set for ifc exports.

Everything works as it should, but when it comes to Revit parameters with one of the swedish characters "åäö" in them I'm having problems.

For example: I want the parameter "Hängning" to become HingeSide in my ifc export so it should be like this in my txt file "HingeSide (tab) Text (tab) Hängning", but my ifc export shows up empty. If I change the parameter "Hängning" to for example "test" it works.

Is there any workaround regarding this. We got plenty of parameters with "åäö" in them and it would take a lot of time to rename all these.

An update if anyone else is experience this problem.

I've been in contact with Autodesk regarding this and they've escalated the problem to the developer team.

See this KB article regarding updates: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles...

Hi!

I found a solution that works for me.

When saving the property set definition be sure to save the file with UTF-8 encoding.
