I prefer conversion to morphs because they have the same floor plan display options as in archicad columns, beams, walls etc....<BR /> <BR /> Is there any disadvantage from converting elements to morphs instead of objects? <BR /> <BR /> Looking forward to your wisdom!!! thanks in advance!!!</T></DIV> Wed, 08 Jan 2020 10:36:51 GMT Anonymous 2020-01-08T10:36:51Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/IFC-import/m-p/284533#M37296 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi again.<BR /> <BR /> So we are importing an ifc and some elements were converted to archicad columns and beams and others are just objects (based on our ifc translator)<BR /> <BR /> Is there any setting I can tweak to make every ifc element converted to real archicad elements and not objects or morphs?<BR /> <BR /> Also the Archicad reference guide advises to set the translator to translate construction elements to objects instead of morphs.

But today there are not many software to do this with the right certification : <A href="https://www.buildingsmart.org/compliance/software-certification/certified-software/" target="_blank"><LINK_TEXT text="https://www.buildingsmart.org/complianc ... -software/">https://www.buildingsmart.org/compliance/software-certification/certified-software/</LINK_TEXT></A> Wed, 08 Jan 2020 14:39:21 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/IFC-import/m-p/284534#M37297 Christophe Fortineau 2020-01-08T14:39:21Z
