    Hi All,

    I am having an issue modifyingthe IFC2x3 COBie 2.4 Design Deliverable. I want to export only elements visible in my view as I have to break my model up in order to export the whole building to IFC.

    When modifying the selected setup I am selecting the IFC2x3 COBie 2.4 Design Deliverable setup and creating a new setup based upon the one selected called IFC2x3 COBie 2.4 Design Deliverable 1. I then make the single change and ok.

    I then get an IFC override - IFC export error, that is "The IFC export process encountered an error"

    If I close the error and try again to modify the setup I get a fatal error, Revit closes down and asks if i would like to save a recovery.

    Has anyone else come across this error? or know how to reslove it?

    Thanks
    O

    Does this happen with the regular export? It could be that we missed something specific to the COBie deliverable (there was a lot of work done on it in the last release), or that there is a bad element in your model. If you can send us the model, that would help.

    Interesting, it doesn't happen to me with the latest exporter. was this in 2017 or 2018?

    I am using Revit 2017.

    I did think that i may be an issue with the project so i tested in blank files and with the Revit sample file, both getting the same error message.

    I also have an issue of the IFC export not exporting anything, when testing different setups, using the Revit sample file as a project to export.

    Very strange i have tried various set ups, export locations, projects and keep getting the same issue of either error for COBie deliverable or Exporter not running for other setups.

    I have reinstalled the IFC addin and tried to download to different machines, again having the same issues.

    Is there something i'm missing? or installing the addin in an incorrectly?

    Okay, have you tried uninstalling the open source exporter and trying it? That would be a clue. Also - can you send me a journal from Revit where you just open Revit, open a blank project, try to export to IFC (and fail) and close Revit?

    Hi Oliver,
    I'm on the team that created this -If you can send a test file and the journal showing it happening, maybe I can see what is going on. There may be something different about your setup that is causing it.
    I can send you an upload link

    PS I'll send you an upload link if you need one.

    Hi Andy,
    Did this get resolved? I appear to be having the same problem as Oliver.
    Thanks.
