IFC Export Options buggy behaviour

VisualARQ
, ,
1

Hello,

I’m working on my IFC export options with VisualArq, using the _IfcExportOptionsDialog command.

However, every time I select an IFC class in the dropdown list, every IFC Class goes back to <IFCProxy>, the two images below are before and after selecting an IFC Class in the dropdown menu:

image520×518 11.9 KB
image
image520×518 11.1 KB

When I close and reopen the dialog, everything is taken into account, so at the end it kind of works, but I have to close and reopen the dialog every time I modify an IFC Entity Type.

It is a minor problem, but it is not very friendly to batch apply IFC classes to layers :slight_smile:
Thank you,

Hi @antoine3,

Which Rhino and VisualARQ version are you using? I see you tagged this post in the mac category, are you running VisualARQ using Parallels or something similar?

I still couldn’t reproduce it:

Hi @alfmelbev,

The mac category is a mistake, I’m running Rhino 7.34 and VisualArq 2.13.2 on Windows.

Hi @antoine3,

We are running the same versions then. I see you have more plug-ins installed in your Rhino, could you disable them to check if any of them is interfering with VisualARQ?

You can disable them going to the “Rhino Options” > “Plug-ins” > “Plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino”, and disabling all the plug-ins but VisualARQ, Tibidabo and the two IFC plug-ins. Please, restart Rhino before trying to reproduce the issue again.

Hi @alfmelbev,

Thank you, I tried it, and it still reproduces the same behaviour :confused:
So apparently it does not come from other plugins.

When I do it in a new file with a simpler layer hierarchy, it seems to work fine :man_shrugging: So it seems that this is coming from my file specifically.

I tried again with other files that uses the same process and layers, and sometimes it works, sometimes it reproduces the same behaviour.

Can I send you a file that produces it so you can check it?

Hi @antoine3,

Yes, please. You can post it here or send it to visualarq@asuni.com.

Hi @antoine3,

Thank you for your file, I could reproduce the error with it. I am reporting it to find a solution, so I will let you know when I have news.
