alfie hope Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Why when exporting to IFC do doors not show correctly in VW2012!?!?! The attachment shows my VW model opened in Solibri model viewer where only architraves show through (because they are the only part of the symbol geometry outside of the actual wall.. The model worked fine in VW2009 and since converting it to VW2012 i have remade the doors several times in order to try and get them to work, but no success.. Anybody else had this problem? Or solved it? I am contemplating a work-around to put uncased openings in the walls just to get them to show properly - but this is obviously not ideal! Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi, first thing that comes to mind, have you checked your class visualities? Quote Link to comment
alfie hope Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 yes, it's not a class issue, doors and fully turned on before IFC export. If you look closely at the screen shot you can see the doors are there... they just don't cut holes into the walls as they should do... Quote Link to comment
bc Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 When you have a door selected, what does it say in the Object Info Palette: DOOR? or DOOR IN WALL? If it just says door, the door is not inserted into the wall. Quote Link to comment
alfie hope Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 They're all set as door in wall.. Currently i've managed to get them to display by creating an extra opening around each door, though this is quite ridiculous! Quote Link to comment
Monadnoc Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Are you sure you haven't inadvertently copied the wall in place so there are two walls superimposed on each other (one without doors)? Edited July 30, 2012 by Monadnoc Quote Link to comment
alfie hope Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yep totally sure! The entire building only has single walls - no duplicates! Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Has the symbol a wall opening component? Quote Link to comment
bc Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 DWorks is probably onto something but just to be sure and along the same lines as Monadnoc, perhaps you have inadvertently duplicated the doors? Just checking. Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It would help if he would post the file for others to examine. Quote Link to comment
