Retreiving data from imported IFC file

Hello,

I’m trying to retrieve custom parameters of an object, in an imported IFC file with no success.

I have created a simple element in Revit, having custom data parameters being successfully exported to IFC, as it can be seen on the screenshot I’ve took on the BIM viewer.

On GH, the parameters are missing. How can I get access or view them? It appears that only several parameters are available. Is this by design?

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

Nave

Hi @Nave_Segev can you share that IFC file? I’d like to take a look!

Hi @fsalla,

Test_File_Sample8.zip (11.5 KB)
IFC is attached in a .zip file

I want to have the ability to use a few parameters, they can be Type or Instance. The plan is to put the data in Revit, then export to IFC, and then extract and use them in GH. The data should be associated with the object’s geometry off course.

Thank you very much!

Hi @Nave_Segev thanks for the file! I assume you have opened it with the V4 Engine. This version still doesn’t read all the parameters in the geometry. (We are working on that). So meanwhile, use the V3 Engine:

That way you will be able to retrieve all the parameters and the corresponding values:
