Hello everyone,

I am a graduate student from China. I think that ifcOpenshell is very helpful for my IFC research.
Now I use ifcOpenshell to visualize an IFC file, but I found there were some problems about the position of the fitting. The details are shown in the attached zip file(including an IFC file and the PNG figure) .
Could you give me some help?
Thank you very much.

Kind regards

Ying Liu

Hi,

This doesn't seem to be a problem with IfcOpenShell. I checked two other free viewers (Solibri and BimVision) and they had similar (or worse problems). Better try and pick this up with Autodesk and use the latest version of the ifc exporter.

Kind regards,
Thomas

  Hi, Thomas
  
  Thank you very much for your quick reply. It's not the problem of IfcOpenShell. After I made a new model exported by Revit 2023, I managed to visualize the pipe fittings and other MEP elements using IfcOpenShell.
  
  I will work hard to learn how to use your IfcOpenShell and maybe I will ask you some more questions later.
  
  Thanks again.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Ying Liu
