Elements exporting with no geometry

    Hi,

    I've had some problems in the past with other projects as well, so it's not a 1 time thing.
    When exporting to IFC, some walls (or even parts of walls) do get exported, but they have no volume or geometry.
    In this case, there are 2 walls missing in the IFC.
    View from Revit:

    View in Solibri:

    I did a ITO where I check if a component has a volume greater than 0m³, and it gave me the 2 walls that are missing.

    The walls have a profile applied to them:

    I tried with several versions of the exporter, in this case, I used v 18.2.0.0
    I use Revit 2018.3

    Is this a known issue, is it just me doing something wrong, ...?

    Hi Jeroen,
    I will take a look. Could you send the RVT file so I can try it? Thanks.

    Thanks you for your time. I've sent the RVT file via PM.

    Although, working forward from that RVT file, I've managed to redraw those walls that didn't export and made them able to export by redrawing. So my problem is 'solved', but I'd like to know WHY it didn't export.
    I can't double-check every IFC being exported.

    Hope you will be able to figure it out.

    Any chance you had the time to look into this?

      I really haven't been able to see why - the fact is it works for me. Forcing a full regeneration might be the key.

    As there now is a new version of the exporter, I'll try and see if that changes anything.
    It has not been a 'one time thing' where things didn't export properly.

    How do I force a full regeneration?

    Closing and reopening the file will do it, but presumably you have done that.
