Hi,
I tried to save a test model in ifc 4 with rhino 6 sr. 31 and VA 2.10.1.14637, but I received a message “Unable to export Ifc file. There are no Ifc compatible plug-ins currently loaded”. What is it the problem?
Thank you
Hi @fn_a,
IFC 4 is a planned feature for VisualARQ 3. We’re currently working on it, and, by mistake, we published VisualARQ 2.10 with the “IFC 4” file format option in the import/export dialog, but this format is not working on VisualARQ 2 yet.
VisualARQ 2.11 will remove this format from the list, and it will be fully functional in VisualARQ 3.
Sorry for the confusion!
Enric
Thank you @enric,
I’m looking forward to try VA 3! So when will v.3 be released?
Hi @fn_a,
We don’t know yet. We’ll probably publish a WIP very soon (in a couple of months), and the final version won’t be ready sooner than 2022.

Hi, i have the same issue with Rhino 7 add 6 too with VA 2.11. Where is problem?
Hi @Chita,
Did you install the last VisualARQ release? Ifc4 is not available in this release, so it shouldn’t be on the list.
My built is 2.11.3.15181 from 2021/09/16 - last i become from website.
“IFC export option” command is in roll offer from context menu too
Hello @Chita,
“IFC export option” command is available with IFC 2x3 but not for IFC 4.
Yes, but IFC 2x3 not working too
Hi @Chita,
What happens when you try to export/import to IFC? Do you get any error? Please, could you send screenshots/video/gif to check it?
Today i trying repeat this issue with alert window but now is ewerything ok…i don’t understand.
Before i get this alert:
“Unable to export Ifc file. There are no Ifc compatible plug-ins currently loaded”
Hi Alfonso, Dusan and everyone
I have a trial version for now, specifically I was willing to try the IFC export function.
Checkboxes for export and import plugin are on, but I have the exact same message as Dusan.
Rhino version is 7, last available build (SR35).
Additionally, I have an error box message after the “Unable to export Ifc file. There are no Ifc compatible plug-ins currently loaded”.
The error box says :" failed to save xx\xx.ifc. The file writing plugin failed."
Thanks for the help!

Hi @saint.guillain,
Please, make sure you have the Tibidabo and VisualARQ loaded in Rhino as well. Are the other VisualARQ commands working?
You can check it here:
Thanks for the quick reply Alfonso
All the checked boxes are on, but it seems the plugins don’t load automatically at rhino start.
The solution I have met is to select all recommanded plugins, right click and then click “load”.
Visual arq starts and export works.
Thanks!
Thomas
