I'm trying to export the attached family in the model to not include one of the subcategories titled "Temp Plunge Column" by setting the IFC options settings to "Not Exported" for the subcategory. This seems to ahve no affect when exporting to IFC as the subcatgory still comes through.
I see what you mean - we are exporting the subcategories when you have them turned off. This works for other categories - you can make a door slab not exported for example, and it won't go out. I will have to investigate, but I suspect it has something to do with the multiple overlapping geometries with different subcategories.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi Stephen,
I'm afraid I can't answer that question because I don't have any programming skills, and the code on Github is mainly focussed on the IFC exporter for R2019 (which has BTW a lot of improvements, not only for IFC4RV but also for IFC2x3CV2.0).
(Of course, in theory everything is possible.)
Regards,
Dirk

Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks,
other attachments of dialogs
IFC files
anyone have any suggestions for the above?

Probably similar to https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/issues/30 ?
Dirk, thanks. how was the issue fixed? was there a new version released to fix the problem?
Yes, there is a beta version of the IFC exporter (for R2019): it is available at https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/releases/tag/IFC4RV-beta-v0.6.2
To be sure, I checked it, and it is also fixed/working for IFC2x3CV2.0

Hi Dirk, Thanks. I should have said the model is actually in 2018, can the 2018 version be updated as a beta?
