[Question] [PythonParts] Add SmartSymbol via Library and IFC

Hi,

In a Interactor PythonPart, I insert several smart symbols with the add_library_elements tool according to the options defined by user.
It works correctly in Allplan but these elements aren't exported in IFC.

How can I solve it ?

It seems that, at the moment, smart symbols which are subordinate objects of a PythonPart are not exported to the IFC. This has to be fixed.

Hello Christoph,

can't these elements be exported only using the Python API ImportExportService or generally, even when using the UI of Allplan? If generally, maybe you could attach the .ndw file with just the doors here, so I could try to export it. Maybe there is an export filter you set or there are some attributes missing in this element (if that is a separate element) causing it to be filtered out. Or maybe the geometry cannot be displayed in the IFC viewer you are using. There are so many possible reasons, that comes to my mind, so the best way would be really to have the problematic .ndw.

Best regards,

Hi,

Here are some answers:

1) Same problem whether with the IFC export function or with the script

2) No active filter in the export.

I send you the files by email

Hi,

For the moment we can go through bimplus to achieve a coherent IFC export but this adds steps and requires us to use IFC 4.

I hope this will be fixed soon...
