BIM: Importing IFC to Grasshopper



New features added to Geometry Gym IFC plugin for Grasshopper and Rhino.  You can now import existing IFC data files into Grasshopper (more improvements on visualization coming soon).  There's also specific components for tagging objects as slabs, walls, stairs, beams etc.  Download from http://www.geometrygym.com/downloads 

Example definition for importing IFC data: ReadIFC.gh
Sample IFC data file : testTower.ifc

Priority will be given to new features requested by users, please keep sending them through.

    Hello,

    Could you give more specific instructions to import IFC files Grasshopper, with the attached file I not understood the mechanism, my IFC files are opened not correctly. May have you some recommendations for saving files from ArchiCad?

    Hi Temea,

    I'm more than happy to study any files, there should not be any need for "required" settings when exporting from other software.

    I don't think it's possible to attach files to comments, but please email it to me at jonm@geometrygym.com

    Hi Jon, I have just downloaded the readIFC file you uploaded. I assigned my file path by right clicking and setting one file path to my exported IFC file from Revit. I have an error that says:

    "1. Line 37: Function 'ParseLine' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used."

    I am very new to everything, am I doing this right? or what might I be doing wrong? I would really appreciate the help!

    Thanks,
    Sandi.

      Hi Sandi,

      Interesting, this is actually an issue in Grasshopper, if you replace the read file component with a new one, it will work again. I'll update the link above.

      Cheers, Jon

      Awesome I have done that, however I am not getting anything out of the ggIFC read file component.

      If you can email me the ifc file (they zip well) I will take a look for you.
