Hi there,

I am working on two IFC files i.e. version_4x and version_2x3. At some point, I want to get or write this version in database. I failed to find any transformer to read or get the exact .ifc version.

Is there a way to do that?

Well! I managed to do that. I read the .ifc file as text in FME and applied TestFilter which eventually filters the 'Schema' line containing the actual version used. Trimming it out gives the required result.
