I detected an error with VisualArq version 3.10. Mirrored blocks unmirrored around the block baseplane while exporting to .ifc. I uninstalled visualarq and reinstalled an older version (3.7) which I still had on my computer. Then it exported correctly.

Hi @Tomas_van_Hamond I can see mirrored blocks are not being exported properly to IFC when using the V4 Engine. If you use the V3 Engine, it will work fine. We will fix it for the V4 Engine in the upcoming updates.
