How to avoid IfcOpenings to be exported with my IFC?

Hi,

This started with IFC23. I can turn them off in Revit but would prefer to omit hem from being exported.

Br,

Mats

You can control this by setting up a Model Filter for IFC export. Although the result is likely to be even uglier without the openings.

 

File > Interoperability > IFC > IFC Translators.

Either create a new preset or edit a existing. Uncheck the box for the IFCOpeningElement. Make sure that the new or edited Model Filter is applied to the Translator you plan to use.

Save as IFC and make sure to use the Translator with the correct filter.

Tried all of those since before and I agree it's useless without the openings.
