Original classification visible into ifc export

Hello,

We all use classifications.
Some of us are use to keep archicad classification.
Finaly we all export ifc files.
I use Solibri Model Viewer on macOS.
With Solibri I can see my BIM model by Layer, by Containment, and by Component.
I wonder if it's possible to see my BIM model by class ?
I wonder where to find which classification was used for each ifc file into Solibri Model Viewer or other viewer ?

Hi,

After a lot of investigation, I discovered that the disability[pearing elements disappeared because they were all crafted with Air as a material and then painted with a surface override. My translator was set to activate elements that participated in collision detection and so, they just vanished into thin air.

Air is a thing in ARCHICAD. That's the big lesson here.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your finding! I don’t have much experience using IFC, but I guess the problem is now solved for you? Is there anything I can help you with?

Best regards,
Minh
