General:

This is the official release of IFC Extension 22.7.0
It contains a various improvements and bug fixes for the previous 22.6.2 version.

Improvements:

  • Added export of the floor slab edge level.
  • Added material shared parameters export.
  • Added NetSideArea, GrossSideArea, Height, and Width quantities for curtain walls when exporting to IFC 4.
  • Added the ability for the IfcCADLayerOverride shared parameter to set the appropriate CAD layer for more Revit elements when exporting to IFC.
  • Added the BarRole attribute when exporting IfcReinforcingBars to IFC.
  • Added type entities for rebar and assemblies when exporting to IFC.
  • Added support for exporting enumerated properties to IFC that contain multiple enumerated values.
  • Added support for exporting predefined types when exporting spaces to IFC 4+.
  • Added support for linking in data from IFC entities with custom representation identifiers.
  • Added support for properly exporting VaporPermeability parameters to IFC.
  • Added support for valid AssemblyPlace information when exporting IfcFurnitureType to IFC.
  • Added Width as an exported quantity to IFC for some assembly-based walls.
  • Decreased the size of IFC files when exporting Revit elements as IfcCovering.
  • Exported more than one material to IFC in some cases when using the advanced option to allow the use of a mixed solid model representation.
  • Implemented export of IfcRailingType entities.
  • Implemented export of insulation and lining as anything.
  • Improved base quantities calculation for slab elements with openings.
  • Improved calculations of gross volume and gross side area when exporting some walls with openings to IFC 4.
  • Improved export of models to IFC that contained family instances with invalid placements.
  • Improved export of openings in sloped slabs.
  • Improved export of some beams with openings to IFC 4.
  • Improved export of some curtain systems to IFC.
  • Improved IFC 4 export of some host objects that had different layers with the same material.
  • Improved how classifications are viewed in certain older external applications when exporting to IFC.
  • Improved linking of IFC files with slightly self-intersecting profile data.
  • Improved stability of exporting to IFC when the Revit model has corrupted extensible storage data.
  • Improved stability when exporting projects to IFC with non-standard Author information in Project Standards.
  • Improved support for exporting advanced BReps to IFC if the unofficial IFC4 Design Transfer View is used.
  • Improved the calculation of height and width properties when exporting some openings to IFC 4, where the values were reversed.
  • Improved the export of room base quantities to IFC.
  • Improved the export of some ceilings exported as parts to IFC when exporting the current view.
  • Improved the export of the material layers of some IFC4 files with 0 thickness material layers.
  • Improved units export.
  • Improved upgrading of IFC user configuration when upgrading a Revit document to a higher version of Revit.
  • Improved user defined property set mapping, especially for IFC2x3 entities that previously had no type entity exported.
  • Improved validity of IFC files when exporting elements with compound structures.
  • Updated French and German localization resources.

Bug fixes:

  • Added material information for some hosted wall sweeps exported to IFC.
  • Added missing user-defined property sets for some roofs when exporting to IFC.
  • Allowed the IfcSingleMaterialOverride shared parameter to override the material of certain elbows and fittings when exporting to IFC.
  • Fixed a shift of TriangulatedFaceSet geometry elements.
  • Fixed bug with level elevation after linking IFC.
  • Fixed bug with shifted assembly elements.
  • Fixed bug with model positioning.
  • Fixed classifications export for systems.
  • Fixed export of IFC properties associated with the top-level IfcProject entity.
  • Fixed export of material layer parameters of a ceiling element.
  • Fixed export of some assemblies to IFC that resulted in orphaned entities.
  • Fixed export of some rebar elements.
  • Fixed export of the user defined PredefinedType for the stair element.
  • Fixed geometry transformation for elements in assemblies.
  • Fixed local placement of the openings in framing elements export.
  • Fixed missing sketch-based openings in sloped floor elements.
  • Fixed the calculation of the height parameter for some railings in metric projects when a previous value had been calculated that wasn't applicable to this railing.
  • Fixed the overall height value when exporting roof-based windows to IFC.
  • Fixed the slope common property set parameter calculation when exporting some stringers to IFC.
  • Fixed the walls export if option "Split Walls Columns Ducts by Level" is used.
  • Fixed unit conversion issues.
  • Improved area and volume base quantities export for slabs as part of the roof.
  • Improved error handling for invalid Revit file with missing project base and survey points.
  • Removed instability when selecting an IFC entity for the Export to IFC As parameter, and then switching to a schema that does not contain that entity definition.
  • Removed the use of several Revit built-in parameters when exporting IFC properties that have the same name but are different.
