Hello all,
I am trying to convert an ifc file (Industry Foundation Class STEP file) to MapInfo.
I can get FME to read the ifc and it displays objects in FME. But if fails on writing to MapInfo.
I understand that ifc is three-dimensional objects, so I just want a two-dimensional representation. I tried using 2DForcer, but am not getting results.
I have attached the ifc file here
Hi @nicholas
There are multiple TAB-writers:
The 2DForcer makes them 2D - but they are Aggregates - so you need to Deaggregate also
To be sure you are only writing legal geometry you can use a GeometryFilter to see only Point/Line/Area-features and then send these to the writer:
It seems you also need to set the correct coordinate system by using a Coordinatesystemsetter before writing.
