Laura Stone Posted August 14, 2024 Share Posted August 14, 2024 (edited) I am working on a project where apparently the angle to true north is 239.269243866987° (no idea why either!). My drawing is to true north and I really don't want to mess around with it at this stage but I am being asked to export an IFC to co-ordinates and at the 'correct' angle. I can see from a previous thread that this wasn't possible in VW2023, but is it something that can be done in this part of the IFC dialogue in VW2024? My internal origin is slightly out but I know how to fix that. Thanks. Laura Edited August 14, 2024 by Laura Stone spelling Quote Link to comment
Laura Stone Posted September 16, 2024 Author Share Posted September 16, 2024 Bit of an odd one, so I exported with a rotation of 239° or so as project rotation, and Solibri showed the drawing rotated from north. I was then told that my drawing was at the wrong angle for the federated IFC model. On downloading the Architect's IFC and looking at it in plan in Solibri it is pointing north. I had previously tried adjusting angle to 239° from true north in the georeferencing and then 'undid' it feeling a bit nervous. Weirdly the georeferencing now says 0° but (see below) my north point is pointing in an odd direction. I then exported IFC with no rotation and apparently my drawing is now magically in the right place. Quote Link to comment
