[SOLVED] Invalid IFC ellipsoid created by FreeCAD?

Post by Moult »

On the buildingSMART forums, somebody used FreeCAD to create an IFC file:

https://forums.buildingsmart.org/upload ... vwClij.ifc

I'm not entirely sure how he made it, but I can't re-import it back into FreeCAD without getting a broken mesh, XBim won't show it, and I can't import it into the BlenderBIM Add-on either.

Can somebody more familiar with the FreeCAD export geometry code look into this?

Sorry, but what do you mean by broken mesh?
I imported the file in FC without problem.

Also, I imported into Blender... (I had to scale it up a bit).
