IFc exported from FreeCAD is not Imported Back to FreeCAD

[Tandy]

Hello Everyone,
I had model a Building in FreeCAD.
Exported it to IFC file and During Exporting no error occurs.
The IFC is not imported Back in FreeCAD

I had tried with both FreeCAD .18 stable and unstable verison ( importing and exporting )

and also with FreeCAD .19
IFC file

Files are of 1.7mb that why i am not able to attach then directly

The IFC file is open quite Good in many IFC viewers like solibri, IFCplusplus , BIM vision etc

workaround:
- on export preferences, deactivate "Export full FreeCAD parametric model"
- it is a very cool tool, but it is what I have deactivated all the time, because I do not need this

The reason i activate this is below mention in detail.
For FreeCAD .18.1 stable version
I add rebars in beam / columns or in any other str member.
Then i export ifc by selecting all members and by setting preferences to deactivate "Export full FreeCAD parametric model" mean untick.
Only rebars will be exported to ifc files if we view in viewers or in FreeCad back
To over come this issue i had tried many attempt in preferences and i got that if i activate"Export full FreeCAD parametric model". Then only i get full model and rebars in IFC file..
Also had raised thread in freecad forum about this
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=35500

Tell me if i am wrong and give me right path to do this.

I am also having same Version of freecad .19 but why this IFC was not imported back on my system.
Or you suggest first to deactivate in preferences and then do import export ,
I tried this one, it work for FreeCAD .19.

This was due to that option in preferences only.
But tell me sollution of it as i mention in earlier post of this thread, what to do for FreeCAD .18
.19 is working good no issue in it.

the reader should read

Code: Select all

<class 'ArchStructure._Structure'>

but somehow breaks earlier ... One need to tackle this down in importIFC

In the regard of the rebar concrete problem you should consider to switch to 0.19 which has some great IFC improvements already. Furthermore your problem seams fixed ... See https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 98#p307898

It was fixed just by changing preferences as told by harvinder too. In that thread.
