IFC4RV PredefinedType

[Dirk Van Rillaer]

Hi Angel,

R2018.3 18.4.0
It's going pretty well with the PredefinedTypes in IFC4RV,
only a few entityclasses seem to have an issue:

I only tested the EntityClasses, not the TypeClasses.
I used Notepad++ to check if the PredefinedType are correctly translated to the location in the Definition of an entity.

issues:

• IfcDoor (PredefinedType on 11th position): all PredefinedTypes are translated to DOOR
• IfcWindow (on 11th position): all PredefinedTypes are translated to WINDOW
• IfcBuildingElementProxy: all PredefinedTypes are missing (and it would be nice if PROVISIONFORVOID and PROVISIONFORSPACE would be available)
• IfcRoof (as container): GAMBREL_ROOF | RAINBOW_ROOF are translated to NOTDEFINED
• IfcSensor: COSENSOR | CO2SENSOR | FROSTSENSOR | IDENTIFIERSENSOR are translated to NOTDEFINED

Attached: the test IFC, and an issue-txt-file with only the lines of the above mentioned entities.

Regards,
Dirk

(PS: due to the other issue with IfcBeam, it's left out of the test)

Excellent! I passed this on to my team so that they can make these corrections.

ps I didn't even know there were such things as rainbow roofs :)

Concerning PredefinedTypes now exported as NOTDEFINED:
just one more of IfcRoof: HIPPED_GABLE_ROOF

since in the current exporter a lot more EntityClasses are supported and exported, I had to redo the test, resulting in a few more cases with the NOTDEFINED-issue:
IfcCurtainWall
IfcOpeningElement
IfcProjectionElement
IfcSurfaceFeature
IfcVoidingFeature
IfcExternalSpatialElement

In the attached XLS, they are marked in the first column with 'x'.

Concerning IfcDoor:
on the 12th position in the definition is the OperationType: currently the default is now "REVOLVING" (I think it is the default since I didn't add a parameter to the generic model). Probably would be better to be set on NOTDEFINED, just like it is with IfcWindow.

[Dirk Van Rillaer]

Ahum, actually the above tested results were only based on the use of IfcExportAs on a Generic Model.

It seems that the use of the PredefinedTypes in the mapping table (Export Options) is broken. They seem to result in "NOTDEFINED".

Intermediate test:

based on:
https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/commit/1e10b35ee00c994336b311fff3bc48a41aeaf271 : Various fixes for PreDefinedTypes

tested with R19.1.current-IFC4RV-branche-version

issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/ifcexporter/discussion/general/thread/b6a9156b/#cc0a
- IfcDoor (PredefinedType on 11th position): all PredefinedTypes are translated to DOOR
not yet fixed
- IfcWindow (on 11th position): all PredefinedTypes are translated to WINDOW
not yet fixed
- IfcBuildingElementProxy: all PredefinedTypes are missing (and it would be nice if PROVISIONFORVOID and PROVISIONFORSPACE would be available)
not yet fixed
- IfcRoof (as container): GAMBREL_ROOF | RAINBOW_ROOF are translated to NOTDEFINED
fixed: enum is added and is exporting OK
- IfcSensor: COSENSOR | CO2SENSOR | FROSTSENSOR | IDENTIFIERSENSOR are translated to NOTDEFINED
fixed: enum is added and is exporting OK

issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/ifcexporter/discussion/general/thread/b6a9156b/#5793
a few more cases with the NOTDEFINED-issue:
