How to write IfcTesselatedItem?


Hello,

I have troubles with the creation of IfcTesselatedItem.

When I create an IfcBuildingStorey object in a FME Workbench (v. 2020)

automatically IfcProject, IfcSite, IfcBuilding and IfcBuildingStorey are created in the ifc file:

 

Otherwise, if I create a IfcTesselatedItem

only IfcProject is created:

 

How it's possible to create IfcTesselatedItem objects with FME?

Thanks for all suggestions and help

Hi @franco,

The Tesselation is a geometry type in IFC, not a feature type, so you can't write it directly. The solution is to write a feature with a Mesh geometry to IFC instead. I am attaching a simple workspace to illustrate.
