Hi, continue testing
IFC export functions with the Villa Savoye model.
Have below findings:-
Have created a numbers of Windows w/ louvers
The transparency of the glass panes some time becomes opaque
So created a few Window objects w/o louvers and create another series of Window Objects w/ Louvers only
So far still good in FC
When, export to IFC and viewed in BIMserver, the louver seems disappear for the Window integrated w/ Louver
Model +

More findings :-
Whilst the concerned Window has the integrated Louver disappeared... when viewed from outside
When viewed from Inside, the Louvers are shown
BIMserver / BIMsurfer problem ? Exported w/ face normal inverted ?
...Other problems to be reported in BIMserver rather than here?
And when viewed in IFC ++, the integrated Louvers are shown whether from Outside or Inside...
.
Louvers are shown in BIMserver when viewed from Inside (not from Outside)

Then clearly a bimsurfer problem... But normals are not exported in IFC . So not sure what the problem would be... Maybe something to do with transparency...
