Composite Wall/Roof export in IFC in AC23 problem

Mario Sacco — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 08:45:25 GMT

I'm trying some tests exporting in IFC and importing again in AC23 using the "general parametric export":
- Composite wall with boolean operation/trim are always transformed in objects
- Profile walls with boolean operation/trim remain correct wall profile but windows transformed in objects
- Simple walls are translated correctly
- Composite roof are translated in objects

Instead in AC 22:
- Composite wall with boolean operation/trim are transformed in simple wall;
- Profile walls with boolean operation/trim remain correct wall profile but windows transformed in objects
- Simple walls are translated correctly
- Composite roof are correctly retransformed in composite roof.

It seems AC22 work better with basic setting.
I tryed to change setting without any improvements.

If you were testing this with something like Solibri Model Viewer, what would you see? I sometime think that using ARCHICAD to test its efficacy or the validity of the translator I'm using isn't the best way to know that it's working.

I've spent a week going back and forth from my ARCHICAD workstation to a Revit machine and while my legs are tired, I finally got close to what I'm trying to achieve.

My test started inside a model checker. This is the reason I came back in Archicad.
I used Solibri and BIMVision.
The composite wall not cut and the composite wall not cat are translated in different way.

The composite wall cut is complex with al the boolean operation calculated. I'd like to have a simple wall like the wall not cut, only information with a simple shape.

Obviously this is only an example of a large project I'm working on. I Want to give my public client a simple model in IFC to check.

My next check is try to open it in Revit.

A few settings changed between AC22 and AC23 for IFC Export and Import. Here is the playlist that talks about these changes:
