Export To IFC

[Acip79]

Hi,

First of all I am a beginner in Vectorworks 2018. Sorry if my question have been resolved before but I could not find the related tread in this forum. Just a simple one. I am working with consultant that used Revit. How can I include my property line & grid line to exported IFC format. I need to pass this setting out for them to follow.I found out that levels will follow when I create the stories. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Hi elepp,

Thanks for the option but i still cant export grids & propertyline to IFC format. I downloaded the sample file in the tread given but it use combination of lines,text to make the grids but i use grid tool for mine & property line tool. the grid lines are assign to ifcgridaxis similar in the sample file. but still no luck on it.

Thanks anyway.

Hi,

 

Did you check if it's visible in Solibri? Which version of IFC are you exporting in? But in general IFC is very poor in supporting pure 2D elements. As far as I know IFC 4 is a bit better in that regard.

Hi,

I opened the ifc file in revit & the grid line does not appear, only levels are in the ifc file. I export using 2x2 & 2x3 ifc format. Tried also to link in revit using ifc 4 format. But still does not appear. Its ok, i am just curious if there is other user facing the same issue and found the solution. Btw, i am both revit & vwx user. :-)
