Concrete+Rebar IFC Export

Post by DDM »

Hello,

I tried to export in an IFC file a simple concrete support (concrete + rebar).
When I open the file in a IFC reader I have these problems:

1) The concrete isn't exported, I see only rebars
2) The file dimension is bigger than the original freecad file

I attached the IFC file zipped...

Thanks,
Marco

I tried all the options for the IFC export (in the preference menu), but the file dimension don't change.
This can be a problem for large models.
Moreover I think that there is a problem for concrete structures with have bars linked to the main part.
The IFC exported file always don't show the main geometry. I tried other simple geometries with concrete and rebar....

Any idea?

Thanks, Marco

You uncovered several bugs there...
It's now fixed in git commit b533c6436 in master. There might be some accidental effects, so I'll keep testing a bit, if all works well I'll backport the fix to 0.18 in the coming days

Thanks @Yorik for your reply.

In my last post I forgot to indicate the Freecad Info. I tested the IFC export with this version.
