I'm having an issue where if I create my own object and give it the survey point sub-type then export as an IFC it doesn't point north but if I save a copy of Graphisoft's survey point object, it faces north when exporting. Any ideas as to why this happens? Is there something in the code which makes this work?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks</T></DIV> Mon, 15 Oct 2018 10:20:01 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Survey-Point-query/m-p/252049#M3788 JGoode 2018-10-15T10:20:01Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Survey-Point-query/m-p/252050#M3789 If I look at the script they are doing a few 'tricks' to make sure mirrored / rotated objects don't missbehave.<BR /> <BR /> But it mostly just uses GLOB_NORTH_DIR, which grabs the north location from what you've set up in Project Preferences.<BR /> <BR /> Check the 2D and 3D script.
