[cadgiru]

Hi

Have attached an FCstd file of some test objects.

Also here a screenshot of ifc file of same, imported to ifcViewer

There must clearly be some rules we have to adhere to when wanting to export to ifc?

Help is as always much appreciated

regards

So far, my findings on this are a bit strange.

If geometry is modeled 'in place' , everything seems to be fine.

If Geometry is moved, strange things sometimes happen.

Have tried moving at these levels, and combinations of these:
* Defining geometry (like wire or similar)
* Extrusion or similar
* Arch object

Getting somewhat confused

After doing some testing, it seems that extrude symmetric is not working with ifc export.

Changed Extrusions of previous shown elements from Symmetric to 'Normal' extrusion seems to fix the issue

Can anyone confirm this?

Hi, can you advise your IfcOpenShell setup e.g. using IfcOpenShell-python for reference?

Thanks.

How to ?

Did you compile downloading the source from IfcOpenShell?

The one running is downloaded from ifcopenshell, not compiled by myself. I sadly never got that to work.

Compiling ifcopenshell is not difficault. which system are you on?
