Export Site model to IFC

[Laura Stone]

I'm trying to work out what it is that allows a site model to export to IFC. I have made a simple file that exported correctly, but when I copy and paste the the site model into a new VW file nothing will induce it to export.

I've enclosed the files as zips - it is cone new that won't export anything useful.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Just experimenting, I actually want to export a much much bigger site model.

Hi Laura

I have had a look at both files.

The reason your site model will not export to ifc is because the design layer that contains it has been mapped to the wrong story on the IFC export dialog.

To resolve the problem, choose File > Export IFC Project.

Click Layer Mapping.

Move Design Layer-1 to the story named Site. It will not export if it is mapped to any other story.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.
