Hi,
I'm currently working with a large project where the Arch is using ArchiCAD.
The project is a office building, with well over 1000 rooms, with offices, parking areas, diners, gyms, laboratory's and more.
I've been having problems with Spaces disappearing after i reload a new version from the Arch.
If i turn on Interior and Reference in VG for Spaces/Rooms, i can clearly see that there are Spaces/Rooms there,
but they cant be tagged. Note that not all spaces disappear, only maybe 20-30%.
I've tested the following,
(IFC Filesize: ~120Mb)
Opening the IFC and saving it as a Revit file. (Filesize after converting ~260Mb. Time ~3hours, with highend computer)
I can use the File pretty good, but the Spaces gets messed up every time the Arch releases a new file.
I'm not sure if it's the changes the Arch does, or something else.
With this method some floors gets strange lines all over, as the picture shows.
Using this way i can use the Space Naming Utility in Revit. And place spaces automatically. But as i said,
some spaces disappear with every new Arch release.
Not all floor types gets these strange lines. I'm not sure if there is some options for how Revit imports/rebuilds the IFC Floors to Revit data?
I've compared a floor with strange lines, and a floor that looks normal, and the "IFC GUID" is different.
Linking the IFC directly into the project.
The model works good, a part from that i lose the Place Spaces Automatically. Doing it manually in this size project is extremely time consuming.
Opening a Arch. Template in revit then linking the IFC, then closing and using the Revit file that Revit creates.
Pretty much the same as Linking it directly into the project.
Graphisofts ArchiCAD connection.
I did try the linking process, i didn't see any significant improvements with it.
Has anyone had any similar problems like this?
Using Revit 2017.1.
