About model and data exchange with 3rd party solutions: Revit, Solibri, dRofus, Bluebeam, structural analysis solutions, and IFC, BCF and DXF/DWG-based exchange, etc.
I created structural model with columns and beams in Archicad 10. All of the beams are lined up and snapped to the corners of the tops of the columns.
I saved my structural model in the IFC 2x2 format to open in CadWork (we use CadWork to produce automated shop drawings for CNC machines).
When I open the IFC file in CadWork, the beams are 1/64" away from the columns in the x and y planes.
I figured out that Archicad has a 1/64" accuracy in it's model units etc.
Is there a setting in the IFC translation or in Archicad that I can change so that the IFC model will open in CadWork and be as accurate and the columns and beams will be lined up as they appear to be in Archicad?
Hello Djordje,
This is good to hear. Thank you for letting us know.
Manny has a serious problem and he has put a lot
of excellent effort into trying to solve it.
Also, thank you for getting rid of those posts about card games.

FYI . . .
Cadwork has addressed the IFC accuracy issue.
It was an IFC import precision issue.
They have produced an updated IFC .dll file that fixes this problem.
Now we are able to import Archicad created IFC files in Cadwork and do not have to worry about pieces being misaligned.
