ENH: Possible to export multiple views as IFC models

Open eibre opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Enhancement Description

Expanding on the wish in https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/issues/736:

We almost always split our Revit file into multiple IFC files. At least the concrete and the rebar are always separate models.

A suggestion is to expand the current GUI like this:

Revit Version

2024.0.x

IFC for Revit Addon Version

24.x.x

Windows Version

11 22H2

The View name would become the IFC file name.

Can't there be hundreds or thousands of views in a Revit file? Or are you somehow marking "exportable" views in Revit itself?

We use a custom ViewType parameter on the views and mark them with Export, to filter the list of available views. A search box would also be nice to find relevant ones
