The objects turns out ok but they are "grouped", same as thet were in SW. I think it has something to do with the "IfcElementAssembly" definition. I can't find anything in archicad about this. Is it possible to "turn off" this definition?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks,</T></DIV> Mon, 27 Jan 2014 13:24:15 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Turning-off-IfcElementAssembly/m-p/128445#M13619 Anonymous 2014-01-27T13:24:15Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Turning-off-IfcElementAssembly/m-p/128446#M13620 Can you show a screenshot of the result in ArchiCAD so we can see what the exact problem is?<BR /> I suppose that several objects get imported into ArchiCAD as one object, but I might be wrong.
