Revit Model Checker : COUNT and LIST of IFC links

[aguilhaumaud]

Hi,

I want to create a check in Model Checker to get a COUNT and LIST of IFC links in my model. How to do ?

It looks like Revit converts the IFC to a RVT file before linking.

Link an IFC File | Revit 2023 | Autodesk Knowledge Network

So, in Model Checker you may want to start with a COUNT and LIST check that filters by the OST_RvtLinks category, to get all the Revit links. Then add another filter checking the Type Name and see if it includes ".ifc" or ".IFC".

That last filter is where it gets possibly problematic. If your filenames don't end with .IFC, it won't find it but off the top off my head, since the file is technically a Revit model, I can't think of another great way.

I haven't tested any of this, just did some reviewing with RevitLookup.

Thanks Jason,

It works, but finally I prefered to use the prebuild check on Links reporting the link method (attachment or overlay) including Revit and IFC files. As you noted, IFC are linked in Revit model as RVT file.
