Import IFC -> Wrong hole definition(SLAB)

Hi I get this message "Wrong hole definition(SLAB)" when I try to switch to 3D-View in ArchiCAD 10 after I have imported an IFC-file exported from Tekla.

But I can't see which slab that is corrupted, can I someway get that information? The session report only says "Wrong hole definition. (SLAB)", not any ID or anything.

Do you guys have any tips?

Jesper, i haven't had this problem with the ifc translator but the same thing has happened to me in ArchICAD. As far as i know there is no way to figure out which elements has the wrong hole definition, a good wish i think. The way i do it is by using the marquee. Marquee half the floor plan over all stories, and generate model. If error still occurs then marquee half of that half, and then half of that half, etc. You will quickly get to a small area where the problem is occurring. It is then only a matter of looking at what slabs are in the vicinity and generating them in 3d individually to find the culprit.
