Re: IFC file wont open in Freecad
hi
so i installed both from stable and dev versions (as below) and tried to open up few ifc files i exported from revit, as well as some sample files i found on the web (from xbim project). all seems to be giving out import error
"...importIFC.py , line 322..."
either if i "open" or use import, the error is the same. is it a bug or issues with revit's ifc files?
thanks in advance.

Hello buckroger,
Welcome to the forum.
According to the wiki page Arch IFC:
Welcome to the forum.
According to the wiki page Arch IFC:
Have you installed it?The importer is still a work in progress, and depends on an external piece of open-source software, called IfcOpenShell, which is not bundled with FreeCAD and must be installed on your system.
Re: IFC file wont open in Freecad
The official version was too old, and IFCOpenShell was a bit tricky to compile so on Windows FreeCAD is bundled with both the release and developer snapshots.NormandC wrote:Have you installed it?
@buckroger can you post one of the troublesome files?
