Anonymous

I get a ton of these messages when exporting to IFC

I don't see a way to identify which building material it's talking about?

Hello,

Did you check all your composite structure ?
Perhaps there are missing materials ?

You mean check all 1 hundred?

Look at the tread settings in your stairs.
I think you will find the material is missing.

Sure that's probably one, but I got several hundred lines here. Are there no links to the actual objects?

You can probably try to create a schedule about your model elements to find more easier the good one

Not sure I understand what that means?

"a schedule about your model elements"

That will reveal it?

Hello,

I think it's a great beginning to reveal your right elements and after their materials
I often use schedule to check my models
Perhaps it will limit the number of composite structures to check
