Victor S Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi Guys, I need to export an IFC file of the attached project and I was wondering if someone could please explain the export settings to me? What are the best settings? I have tried exporting the model as is, however the file created is empty with no information visible. thank you Structural-17Aug20.vwx Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nina Ivanova Posted August 17, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hello @Victor S, Exporting the attached to your post document as it is results in creation of the Slab objects only in the IFC file - because Slabs have their own IFC data already attached to them. For all of the rest custom objects which you add in the document - like the extrudes in this example - you have to set the appropriate IFC data. You might want to read http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2020/eng/index.htm#t=VW2020_Guide%2FIFC%2FIFC_format_interoperability.htm and more specifically http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2020/eng/index.htm#t=VW2020_Guide%2FIFC%2FAssigning_IFC_data_to_objects.htm Hope this helps, Nina Quote Link to comment
