I exported an IFC file from ArchiCAD 10 (10 megs) and gave it to a coworker who opened (imported) the IFC file into ADT - aka Autodesk Architecture version 8 (I think). ADT created a new DWG file for each 'level' that I have in my drawing, (ie. Site Level, Lower Lever, Main Level, Upper Level, etc..)<BR /> <BR /> The walls were walls, the windows were windows, the doors were doors. The whole thing together looked very much (but not exactly) like my model from AC10. So...<BR /> <BR /> #1 - Why was I unaware of this ability? I've tried to stay up-to-date, but was told that AC10 can not talk to Autocad/ADT at all.<BR /> #2 - Is this new for AC10?<BR /> #3 - Anyone have extensive knowledge/experience in exporting to IFC from AC10?<BR /> #4 - Can I export an object as a Solid or a Mass Element? My Objects (posts/rafters/beams/etc..) came into ADT as 'Structural Members'.<BR /> <BR /> Anyone? Yes, I will be reading much in the IFC_Guide_2xEd2_v3p5.pdf file over the next feww days/weeks. Can someone give me a jumpstart?<BR /> <BR /> By the way - I was impressed with its ability - it takes us a great leap forward to our ultimate goal.</T></DIV> Tue, 03 Apr 2007 20:05:23 GMT Anonymous 2007-04-03T20:05:23Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/IFC-ArchiCAD-Revit-ADT-Again/m-p/22702#M1914 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Ok - I just learned something today.
