IFC transfer ArchiCAD to Revit - Help

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 00:20:31 GMT

Hi,
Has anyone had any success with trying convert and Archicad 10 file to Revit 9.1 with IFC? I have looked through the posts here and at AUGI and all seems to say the data doesn't come across cleanly.

When I exported from Archicad 10, I ended up with an 100MB IFC file that crashes Revit on opening. Has anyone had any success? what setting to use in Archicad? or don't bother too new a format etc.

Thanks in advance. TMaple

There has been a discussion here on data exchange between Revit Structural and Archicad, and it was reported as working.

Also, check here:

Your file might be too big. Also, check the IFC versions. AFAIK the IFC versions are not the same.

TMaple,

Can you open your the IFC file you created with ArchiCAD, in ArchiCAD?

What do you see? Is everything where you think it should be?
