unable to export to IFC

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am having a problem with exporting my revit file into IFC.I have already downloaded IFC for Revit 2016. I click on export to IFC and I can see the window opens, because I can see it when I move my mouse on top of the Revit icon, however it does not show on my screen. I tried to uninstall and install IFC for Revit and it is still not working.

This is the first time I am having this issue as previously I was able to export to IFC with no problem.

Possibly previous dual monitor?

You might try the following:

-Update drivers graphics card.

-Update Revit.

-Remove other, possibly conflicting, add-ins from Revit

-Reset settings to default.

If you have an NVIDIA card, sometimes NVIDIA Desktop Manager has caused problems
Disable the Nvidia Desktop Manager: 
-Right click on desktop  and select nView properties

-Select "Desktop Management" tab.

-Under "nView Desktop Manager", select the "Disable" button.

Hi @Anonymous

I see that you are a new visitor. Welcome to the Autodesk community! 

As the first step can you confirm if you've installed the latest updates for your Revit version?
