INQ: IFC export trough API

[rploegmakers]

Inquiry description

We have our own plugin to make it easy for our modellers to export to IFC with the correct settings. We'd like to add the options to choose the coordinate base (so they can choose to use the Survey Point or the Project Base Point as a coordinate base). Our programmer could not find an option to build this. Can it be done? And if it's possible how can we implement this?

Thanks!

It is already possible. Your programmer should parse to IFCExportConfiguration create a config. After that it can be used in Revit API.

Hi Denizmaral,

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear this is possible.

As I understand it our programmer indeed creates an IFCExportConfiguration which then is used for exporting. We're not sure how to implement the base coordinates settings in the IFCExportConfiguration. Could you provide or point to an example maybe? Would be much appreciated!

After creating the configuration, he should do that:

opt = IFCExportOptions()
configuration.UpdateOptions(opt, viewId)
opt.FilterViewId = viewId
result = doc.Export(zielVerzeichnis, dateiName, opt)
