HI
I am wondering, if anyone have created proper IFC Import/Export mapping files in Revit and can share them?
Default Autodesk Revit settings are not following properly any standards, and currently we can use IFC 2x3 TC1 export standard, as it is the latest Official and stable framework version, IFC4 is still in Beta.
I've already searched in forum here, explored Github jmirtsch import class file, but all what I can find is far away from the official standard you can find in https://technical.buildingsmart.org/standards/ifc/ifc-schema-specifications/.
I am currently trying to develop this setting by myself, but it is horrendous task, when taking in account inconsistencies and missing features of IFC 2x3, and I have to do a lot of guess work if I want everything to work.
As example I can say that if you want import Air Terminal, official IFC 2x3 TC1 framework contains only 'IfcAirTerminalType' Type name, but not instance exists such as 'IfcAirTerminal', but IFC framework refer to instance 'IfcFlowTerminal'. This name is used for more than one element and thus is not adequately created to support instance names.
And to confuse things, Autodesk Revit default Import mapping contain 'IfcAirTerminal' and 'IfcAirTerminalType', where 'IfcAirTerminal' does not exist in the official IFC 2x3 TC1 schema.
Did anyone create complete Revit IFC 2x3 TC1 import, including all predefined types?
