    Hi there, I am trying to export a double project parameter from Revit to IFC (Instance). In my pset file i wrote number to translate it to IFC. However, the value does not show in IFC/ is not exported. I am using Revit 2019. WIth 2020 it does not work either. Any idea?

    "Number" isn't an IFC type - try "Count". Also, minor, but it is illegal to create custom property sets that start with "PSet" - that is reserved for the buildingSMART defined ones. We don't stop you, and the file will likely work anywhere, but strictly spearking it is not allowed.

    oha, thanks for the quick reply i will test that and thanks for the hint... i use it always as a testing file but will adjust that... =)

    now i looked at it but with count i assume you mean Ganzzahl which is an integer? I need to export a decimal number and later on use it as a double... with using count it is shortened.

    Ok so I managed to export using Real as the parameter type which works!
    With the length apparently revit converts the number to inch or viceversa... a topic discussed here but i have not found a solution yet?
