No analytical model when I import a model from IFC data

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone,

I am struggling to convert an IFC model to an Analytical model in Revit.

[ How to convert model ]
- The model was opened in a structural template.
- opened from "File→open→IFC". "link" was not used.
- The Elements which I want to use as structural elements were imported as "Structural Columns" or "Structural Framing" or "Structural Beam Systems"

The model was successfully imported as a 3D model, however, nothing showed up in the Analytical model view...

When I clicked the column, it says "I am a Structural Column".

So I was thinking, theoretically, It should show up also in the Analytical model...

I think the way how I imported IFC data should have a problem...

Please give me a tip to solve my problem...!

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous 

When I open the attached file and select the item, it is an in-place model so it will not have an analytical model.

You will have to create the analytical model, but it is a lot of work.

Hello @Jamhmer_Oc 

Thank you for your answer!

I watched the video from the link which you attached.

Yes... It looks like a lot of work if I will do it for all elements...

Soooo.. Is it impossible to import the elements with analytical lines from IFC data automatically??
Is it still not supported as a function ??

I was thinking it is not that so difficult to generate the analytical lines from the imported model in Revit, as I can do it in other software...

Best, 

Emi

Unfortunately, Revit natively will not be able to do it.

Hi @Jamhmer_Oc 

wow...It is sad news...however it was nice to know it.
I was believing that Revit is the best software to integrate the workflow through IFC data, also for structural analysis...

Thanks a lot for your advice 🙂
