The quality of the IFC export needs to be fixed. The problem is with both properties and geometry.
Properties: even if we have the mapping set correctly (via a TXT file), not all properties are in IFC for railings, pipe insulation, etc. Also, the worksets values do not have the correct values in IFC (family workset values are displayed) - for all categories. Why????
Geometry: some elements after exporting to IFC are placed in a completely different place than in Revit. It's completely random and the exporter doesn't even write any export error... Why???
IFC is now a very popular format for submitting data, and even though Revit is a certified software for creating IFC, the quality of the output IFC is usually not high. Also, the method of mapping properties via TXT is very outdated and it is difficult to achieve the required properties from the data standard of the client. It would be good if Autodesk (as a member of buildingSMART) started working with the IDS (XML) format for working with properties and mapping them to IFC in its products.
