Problem Description

In AECOsim SS6, when exporting to IFC2x3 Facilities Management Handover with a COBie Spreadsheet option, the Excel file is always empty after the export and does not include any elements in it.

Steps to Resolve

1. Check in Control Panel > Programs and Features for i-model ODBC Drivers.
2. Un-install i-model ODBC Driver for Windows 7 and i-model ODBC Driver for Windows 7 (x64) v01.01.00019 if they are installed since these drivers are meant to be compatible with AECOsim SS4.
3. Only i-model ODBC Driver for Windows(x64) and i-model ODBC Driver for Windows (x86) v01.03.01.031 should be installed.
