Question

What is the best solution to transfer files from IFC format that have a geo-reference as shown in the picture to KML, bearing in mind that I kept the same geographical reference? Thanks for the help.

@mohamdwassouf​ Thanks for your question!

You can write to KML using FME, assuming you are able to preserve the geometry and the spatial reference from the IFC file you are reading in there shouldn't be a problem. Some issues you may come across is your data in FME not recognizing your georeference and then you must set that manually with a CoordinateSystemSetter or similar transformer.

 

I think it best if you try reading in your data into FME and if you come across any issues that you continue this thread with:

  • a sample of your data
  • a sample FME workspace
  • provide your FME version and build number
  • and any log files (if you run into errors while translating)

Cheers, Evie
