Revit problem - export views to IFC

[Anonymous]

Hi!

We have some problems with exporting views from Revit to IFC.

Maybe you met this problem before and will be able to give us some instructions.

The situation is as follows:

We have so-called 'Host model' - model which has linked in live models in it.

We prepared views for each level we want.

We set proper visibility of categories & worksets.

We began export to IFC with settings as per below:

 

And the result is:

1. Generally: All of the elements are exported even those on hidden worksets...

1. Structural model is exported correctly but not only required level but the entire building.
2. Electrical model - model for entire building has been exported but not only electrical installations but walls as well - what is interesting - we do not have those walls linked in the host model - only in live models
3. Architectural model - we cannot export the model - and do not know why - we had two situations:

a.) There has appeared unrecoverable error window - without any other information - the only option was - Cancel

Could you please advise?

Hi @Anonymous

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

Please try changing the settings as follows: 

Setup the template and/or the views to show the linked files. Go to the view, type VG or VV (for visibility graphics) and change the settings as follows:  

From host view, please change the setting to show 'custom'

Let me know this solves your visibility issues.

• Make sure the IFC file contains the geometric data needed for the Revit capability that you plan to use. For more information, see About Imported Geometry.
• Click HERE for more information

Please feel free to send a file to test to troubleshoot further. I can send you a private folder if you'd like.

Hi Viveka,

I am having some issues working with IFC files.

I have checked your post, and when I try to link views from the IFC file, I can only see 3d views.

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.

could you please help me out_

Kind regards.

Jose
