Hello,

 

I am trying to convert an shapefile in IFC format, never did before.

What I did is to connect the reader for shp format to a writer for IFC format but the result is empty.

Please, can you explain me the setting to use or the procedure to perform this conversion?

Thanks

Please see the article AutoCAD to IFC Conversion Example. This and other articles can be found in the Knowledge Base, a good starting point when learning something new.

Hello @nielsgerrits ,

 

thanks for your reply.

I have seen the Cad IFC article but is for CAD, I have to convert shapefile. 

I don’t have knowledge and experience on this kind of conversion and data, honestly. Do you think that can I follow the same process explained on the article?

Thaks a lot.

I have no experience in IFC either, but if I need to learn a new format, this is how I start (the articles / documentation). I love to work from working examples, so if the data and workbench from the article work, then you can edit the workspace and change the input, to you shapefile.
