IFC Export problems with hybrid symbols

[bjoerka]

I am totally stuck with ideas how to solve this...

I have a 3d model containing lot´s of generic solid, walls, extrudes and so on that are attached to IFCFurnishingElement and have a custom pSet that describes ongoing data.

Addational i have made 3 symbols, small pyramids, hybrid, that describe points where power, data and fiber outlets are positioned. These are defined als ElecticDistirbutionPoint and also have a custom pSet attached for further information.

All mappings within the Data Manager are correct assigned.

When i export the ifc all these hybrid symbols are not exported.

It took me hours to find the solution that the symbols are exported when i convert them into groups in 3d, but then my 2d information with linked text to the record fields is lost.

Is that a known issue or am i doing something completely wrong???

 

vw23, sp5. all other specs as in my signature.

 

any help is appreciated .-)

 

best - bjoern

Answering myself...

this must be a 2023 bug...

i exported the file back to 2022 and there the export works seamless...

additional - the colors of the symbols are transferred correct to the ifc, whereas the export from 2023 puts all elements into grey...

see the screenshots.

1st exported with symbols from 2022, second with groups from 2023...

@bjoerka I was checking with our R&D team, and it will help if we can access the file to research the issue. Thanks

Hi @bjoerka,

The issue is that the data mapping settings do not allow the export of these symbol definitions. You need to turn them on from the Data Manager (please see the attached screenshot).

Hi Kristian,

thank you very much!

Did this change from version 2022 to 2023?

I´ll apply this to my file!
