I can confirm the problem. In most cases the following export preference helps: "Force export as Brep". but it does not here.

What helped is to use Part --> simple copy to make a copy of all objects. Means something inside the arch objects seams wrong.

Is there a way to define objects in general, in this case Structure/ifcBeam so that it will export to ifc4 with quantities From FreeCAD?

Imported to BlenderBIM, looks correct, but no base QTY.
When ticking the boxes in BlenderBIM, we get 'guess' the above data

how did you do it? Can you reproduce the problem in a step by step follow up.

Somehow there some issue with it. But I can not find it. As soon as a simple copy or another structure is made the problem is gone.

Will try to :D
Trying to replicate verbally:
  • Create Structure object as Beam
  • Move / rotate to correct location
  • No recompute after move (Maybe source of problem)
  • Copy using Move without having performed a recalculate on original
Will try to replicate in model later.
