milezee Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hello Forum, I have some IFC files from a client. When trying to import them it either just stalls VW (spinning wheel) or sometime crashes VW. File sizes around 180mb up to 400mb. I haven't managed to import a single one successfully, any suggestions or advice welcome ?? tia, Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Mihail Rizov Posted August 12, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi @milezee If you can log bugs in JIRA - this is the preferred way. Otherwise, sharing files platform. Regards, Mihail Rizov Quote Link to comment

milezee Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 @JuanP @Mihail Rizov you can find some of my IFC files in the folder below, thanks for taking a look ☺️ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19k1tvVt08Am58-2_LlAxobe90pzsrinQ?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment
Administrator JuanP Posted August 12, 2019 Administrator Share Posted August 12, 2019 @milezeeI was able to import the file ( 433mb ); it took a while but did not crash. Are you running the latest 2019 SP? Go to the menu Vectorworks>Check for Updates. I will PM you the file in .vwx format. Quote Link to comment
milezee Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 @JuanP thanks Juan, look forward to receiving the file, cheers 👍 Quote Link to comment
Administrator JuanP Posted August 13, 2019 Administrator Share Posted August 13, 2019 For those not aware Solibri has a helpful Optimizer for IFC files and the good thing is that is available for all at no cost: https://www.solibri.com/solibri-ifc-optimizer It works well, especially on big IFC files. 1 Quote Link to comment
