Export IFC

Hello everyone,

Can we somehow improve the Exportation IFC of Synchro?

For example, It seems that most of the colors of the models will be dissapear after the export.

Thank a lot

  • Hi and thank you, I mean specificaly that no colour is visible in IFC AFTER export from ORD:-(. I tryed also on ORD forum and it seems that is really some error with export...

  • In that case, did you check the colors in another tool that reads IFC such as Solibri?

    If it shows color in Solibri then it is Pro issue to fix.

    But there is also no color in Solibri then this issue needs to be reported to the ORD team, and NOT a Pro issue to fix.

  • Hi - I was reminded by a partner that this seems to be outstanding to resolve or respond. So I ran some basic tests. 

    Case 1:

    I created a box and colored in red in 4D Pro then exported to IFC. Then I imported the IFC into 4D Pro and Solibri, I can see the box in red.

    Case 2:

    In another case, I imported an IFC file and added a colored object in 4D Pro and export both to IFC2. Then I imported the exported IFC2 file into 4D Pro and Solibri, I can see all colors.

    Case 3:

    But if I modify color on element from an imported IFC in 4D Pro, upon SynchorniseTo the modified color is not in the Synchronised IFC. However if I export as a new IFC, the modified color does show up.
