No Import - Maximum size of IFC imports?

Anonymous

Hi all,

 

Is there a maximum ifc import file size for Revit?

 

We are using Revit 2015 to design a large transport terminal. We have been linking the consultant's ifc files in our revit model and it has been working fine. 

 

Recently some files have stopped linking at all. We also cannot open them in a blank revit file.  The file would start opening and never finish. It would just go to a grey work area.  We can open the ifc in other applications (such as solibri). Its working fine.  The ifc file is about 55 500 KB.  We have been importing ifc files up to 48 000 KB without too many problems.

 

At the moment we have asked the consultant to split the file into smaller files as much as possible.  Have also looked at 3rd party ifc management  software to reduce the file sizes (without much success).

 

We have tried doing the previous solution shown in forum: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-mep/no-import-ifc/m-p/5786522#M28558

 

We can still import smaller ifc files, just not the big ones.

 

Any ideas? Any work arounds?

 

Thanks 

 

Sam
