Hi Everyone

 

I have come across an ifc file where the Feature Reader does not find all IfcSpaces when reading a file.

 

Both ifc Viewers DeSite and Solibri manages to read the files, but the Feature reader loads maybe only a third of the objects. My suspicion is that there has been some post editing of the Ifc file by some third party software or created with a plugin EDM?

 

EDM Software:

Example of Ifc FileStructure

If someone know how to read there files with success, please give me a shout out! If not, I imagine this needs to become a feature request to be able to read EDM IfcFiles?

Update:

To answer my own questions:

  1. So the EDM Ifcfile is the standard Revit exporter for Ifc files.
  2. Missing IfcSpaces has not been solved, I am assuming that I received a bad ifc file, with unclear ifc structure
