I try to read an IFC with IfcReinforcingBars. All attributes etc gets read in FME correctly, however there is no visible geometry. I can not share the data, but wonder if there are certain elements/geometrire FME does not read from IFC? I tried the 3 different IFC-readers, and also different settings on the reader with no luck.

 

Examining the features in FME Data inspector shows no geometry. But it seems to be aggregates and Geometry Instances. I also tried the GeometryInstantiator to see if I could get the geometry. https://www.safe.com/transformers/geometry-instantiator/

 

An image of IfcReinforcingBars can be found on this page for instance: https://github.com/xBimTeam/XbimGeometry/issues/74

Added some more detail in the logfile. I guess this explains the problem :
