HI.
When parsing Clinic_Electrical.ifc using the attached ifc2obj.fmw, it fails because the material file is not created.
I am inquiring as the cause is unknown.
please answer about my question.
Regards,

Why does the material file creation fail when converting IFC to OBJ through FMW?

Hi @bskim,
The OBJ file always writes out the materials to the same materials.mtl file, even when using feature type fanout, so will overwrite each other as each OBJ file is written. If the last OBJ written has no material, there will be no .mtl file. Please use Dataset fanout instead, to put each OBJ file in its own folder.
