I have problem in exporting IFC file from Archicad14 to Tekla Structures17.
Holes created in slab do not get recognized in Tekla.
I have attached an image showing actual slabs(grey ) in Archicad and Slabs in Tekla(green).
I have used default setting of Tekla translator in Archicad.
Does anyone know the solution for this problem?
Regards,
Ratna

Have you checked the file in an IFC Model Viewer? I drew a slab with a hole, saved it as an IFC 2x3 file using the Tekla translator, then opened the file in Solibri Model Viewer and the hole was in the slab. I do not have Tekla to check on that end.

Always check your IFC output in Solibri Model Viewer before trying to import into another application to verify everything has been exported correctly.
In this instance SMV will quickly tell you wether you need to look at your AC export settings (no holes in SMV) or if its a Tekla import issue (holes in SMV)
P.S I assume these holes were created with the slab tool itself, not SEO'ed?
cheers,

Another quick and good IFC viewer is Tekla BIMSight

When we changed from 14 to 15 I noticed SEO-generated openings in walls were now being explicitly recognized as an IFC opening vs a simple hole in the wall geometry in 14 which threw up a whole bunch of new clashes in Solibri. This prompted me to do some further testing and there appear to be a number of changes around export of SEO's to IFC in AC15 ... none of which I could find documented anywhere (surprise).owen wrote:This might be it, as the SEO results do not show in exported IFC; have not checked in 15, but they definitely don't in 14.

I will try and dig up my findings

Actually I haven't check model with Solibri model viewer. Is it free for download?
My exported file was checked by Tekla Technical adviser and he is trying to find out the import option in Tekla. Meanwhile I am searching mistake in exporting IFC model from Archicad 14 and I don't know IFC export settings for Tekla Structures Translator in detail. so I kept it default and all constructional elements as auto in Archicad.
Yes, I have BIM Sight and I will check.
Hope it will work.
Thanks to all and Regards,
Ratna

The Tekla export should also work. If it's OK in BIMSight, I see no reason for it not to be OK in Tekla.
I am now coordinating with an environment consultant using Revit, and checking my export before he starts complaining

IFC Support
I think Solibri is the only one that runs on Mac.
