I posted a topic regarding issues with the IFC layer output in Solibri Model Viewer for slabs with opening, after exported from Revit 2018:
It turned out that a path in Revit.ini-file, under [Directories], has to be added like this:
ExportLayersNameDGN=C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2017\exportlayers-dwg-AIA.txt
This way you can override the IFC layer output in SMW (Solibri) to show an personal ideal layer rather than the default "A-FLOR-___-OTLN". If I leave the field blank or type "250_Dekker", the elements in Solibri says "No layer" or all the slabs get the layer "250_Dekker".
The problem now is that I got multiple slabs that need it's own output layer value depending on the slabs structural behaviour per instance, like this:
Slabs (Modelled as floors) on the lowest floor, layer: 252_Gulv på grunn
Slabs on all else floors with layer output: 254_Frittspente dekker
The layer output for columns, beams and bracings are controlled by the Revit parameter IfcPresentationLayer regardless if the exportlayers-dwg-AIA.txt contains a empty field after the associated line or the line the structural component belongs to, like this:
Layer output for Columns: 222_Søyler
Layer output for Beams or Bracings: 223_Bjelker
And, they outputs in Solibri are dependent on the IfcPresentationLayer from Revit. So why isn't this applicable for slabs with openings? The other slabs (or floors) that doesn't contain openings get the output right.
