Comment by Mehdi Hasanzadeh Samadi on Saturday: what's up about a problem i mentioned ,jon?

Comment by Jon Mirtschin on June 10, 2013 at 5:46am: Can you please email me the IFC file you created?

Comment by Mehdi Hasanzadeh Samadi on June 10, 2013 at 5:13am: jon i export rac_basic_sample_project.rvt ( one of sample project) to IFC2x3 and i saw this

Comment by Jon Mirtschin on June 10, 2013 at 4:29am: My plugin can use IFC2x3 and IFC4. Many software generates "bloated" IFC files for "coordination" with polysurface representations (like a mesh) that Rhino isn't optimized for. Can you post example file and description to this discussion (or email/skype me)? http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/geometrygym/forum/topics/ifc-ind...

Comment by Mehdi Hasanzadeh Samadi on June 10, 2013 at 3:59am: so what type of IFC file work with plug-in ? 2*3 and 2*2 doesn't work fine

Comment by Jon Mirtschin on June 10, 2013 at 3:45am: Hi Mehdi,

Not directly yet. Most software companies are saying it will take them a year or two to implement IFC4. What do you want to import IFC4 into? I could provide a converter (but it won't necessarily take advantage of the improvements).

I am planning on developing my own exporter for Revit, but it's a low priority (most of the workflows at present are GH/?? into Revit.

Cheers, Jon

Comment by Mehdi Hasanzadeh Samadi on June 10, 2013 at 3:14am: jon,is there a way to export revit files to IFC4?

Comment by Jon Mirtschin on May 10, 2013 at 5:27am: test.gh

Your first example there is 2 sectioned spine components. The other one produces a better result. Refer attached.

For the second file, you are using the "Surface" component, if you use Extruded area solid you will get the caps.

test2.gh

I think it's better to put the questions into a discussion thread.
