hi there, whatever i try to create a custom IFC export, i seem to fail!
i am already some sort of desperate as i cannot find a structure in my failing.
1) i created a custom definition file
2) i created a custom export setup in revit. deselecting everything but "user definded property sets"
3) now referencing to the correct setup i receive ifc files with following unexpected contents:
a) altough selecting only user defined property sets, revit exports standard psets together with the custom ones?
b) some of the parameters in the exports are missing from the definition. - i created the definition file using excel and exporting to tab delimitered text file - so the tabbing should be correct. i am using german language definitions using local charcters. here a snippet of the parameterfile:

unfortunately only those parameters are actually exported:

any suggestions?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Can you send the actual text file and a sample Revit project? Note that we do not export properties that aren't defined, so make sure that all of the properties are there.

angel!
maybe you alreadyhave an answer for me as i am clueless.
in order to examine if i have an error in my definitions, i created the same definition in the exchange definition file (*.txt) ad Ifc Schedule in revit.
to my surprise the whole custom propertyset was exported!!!!!!
can you explain why there is a difference in result between manual creation and schedule based export?
thanks

I pointed to the txt in the exporter and found no problems. But I do wonder, why you have empty fields efter each parameter? That should not be necessery.
If you are not aware, you do not have to repeat the parameter name, if they are named the same way, but in that case Revit needs an empty field (tab, not space!). I find that only having parameter names where they differ, makes it a bit easier to see what is changed.

troels, thanks for supporting!
1) i am aware that there is no need to replicate parameters if they are matching names with revit parameters.
2) i am trying to export but do not get your result. yes all parameter have values in revit.
troels, i upgraded to the latest version of the ifc exporter. since then i receive "empty" files in solibri (only basic ifc properties are exported, no elements!)
seems to be a bug ( at least in the german locale) as revit isn't exporting even with standard ifc export definitions (revit 2016)

Hi Peter,
I pointed to the txt in the exporter and found no problems. But I do wonder, why you have empty fields efter each parameter? That should not be necessery.

That is strange. You could could try updating your exporter to v16.4? Not sure what that would help, but worth a shot..
