Our workflow calls for saving our MEP consultant's IFC models as a .mod file, then hotlinking into our Teamwork file for reference. I have one Revit MEP IFC file that comes in at a different rotation, dependent on whether I just "Open" the IFC in a new instance of AC, or if I "Merge from file..." into a blank AC file I already have open. The merge method rotates all geometry (almost about the ArchiCAD project origin) exactly 45° counter-clockwise.
- Is this something that needs fixed on the Revit side?
- Don't both options of importing an IFC file use the same import translator settings?
The image shows one ArchiCAD file, in which I opened the MEP IFC, and then another instance of the same IFC, but via "Merge from file...".
