revitcoreconsole cannot export to ifc

[master0luc]

Hello, we have a plugin that generate rvt file in the cloud, but while we add exporting to ifc it cannot do it, log is below:

}

but having this plugin been tested against Revit (23.1.30.97, 20230828_1515(x64), 2023.1.3), export has been successful:

2024-09-06 12:02:15.4619|INFO|Shared|TriggerFrontEnd: Building 0: saved. - [72]
2024-09-06 12:08:22.0849|INFO|Shared|TriggerFrontEnd: Building 0: save as a ifc. - [73]
2024-09-06 12:08:23.0014|INFO|Shared|TriggerFrontEnd: Building 0: closed. - [73]
2024-09-06 12:08:23.0014|INFO|Shared|TriggerFrontEnd: Building 0: finished. - [73]

but the export is long (about 6-8) minutes, and Revit could do it only for IFCVersion.IFC2x3, IFCVersion.IFC2x3CV2. however, for version IFCVersion.IFC4, IFCVersion.IFC4DTV - Revit stucked completely on the some non spatial element: Exporting code is simple:

IFCExportOptions ifcExportOptions = new IFCExportOptions {
  FileVersion = IFC2x3,//IFC2x3CV2
};
doc.Export(path, tmpFileName, ifcExportOptions);

thanks in advance for help

Hi @master0luc,

Thank you for reporting, but this repo doesn't use Design Automation API to export IFC. Instead, it just uses Model Derivative API. If you want to report an issue of using other APIs, please click the Contact Support button on https://aps.autodesk.com/get-help.

Cheers,

Close as irrelevant.

thanks

@yiskang i am sorry to bother you again, but while I am trying to translate rvt to ifc via Model Derivative API, status which I constantly obtain by: GET: https://developer.api.autodesk.com/modelderivative/v2/designdata/dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpvcy5vYmplY3Q6dGVzdF9idWNrZXRfMTIzMTIzMTIzMTJfMy9CdWlsZGluZy5ydnQ/manifest during the last hour is: { "type": "manifest", "hasThumbnail": "false", "status": "inprogress", "progress": "0% complete", "region": "US", "urn": "dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpvcy5vYmplY3Q6dGVzdF9idWNrZXRfMTIzMTIzMTIzMTJfMy9CdWlsZGluZy5ydnQ", "version": "1.0", "derivatives": [] } seems that Model Derivative API has been stucked at 0%, and it is not clear how to cancel job and to see errors if there are any...

@master0luc The translation time will depend on the model content, amount, and complexities, and the Revit translation pipeline is shared worldwide. If someone requests the translation before you, and there is no available pipeline for you, then you must line up. Our cloud products (e.g. ACC/BIM360) also use the same translation pipeline.

Therefore, the RVT file translation will take some time, as expected. Please re-check after a couple of hours. This is why this sample also implements a background service to check the translation progress.

If the translation gets stuck for 24 hours, please try to contact us through Contact Support and share the model URN with us,` but not here. The issues of this repo is for this sample only, not the API use.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

I see, thank You!
