Hi!

I received an IFC file from a costumer and when I tried to inspect the file in Data Inspector, I received the attached error message.

I don't know much about Revit so I'm at a lost. Any help to what this means, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

David

I should note, I can open other IFC files, but not the ones provided.

The error message gives the impression of an unexpected token.

Maybe try the lastest FME 2018 to see if it makes a difference?

If not, consider sending the ifc file to Safe support, together with your workspace and log file.

Thanks @david_r for the response! I only tried open the IFC file in data inspector, to see what was in it. I cannot send the IFC file, due to policy. But, how can I inspect other IFC files, but this one causes errors? Could this be a Revit to IFC conversion error?

 

 

Thank you,

I attached the log file, that writes when I try to inspect the file.

I have received this error multiple times in FME. Mostly it is an error in the IFC-file. When you open it in an application like Notepad++ (it will probably load a long time), the file should end with:

ENDSEC; 

END-ISO-10303-21;

If the IFC-file does not end that way, FME won't read it, since the file did not end properly. The only thing you can do, is trying to create a new export from Revit.
