Just found a third machine to test this on and it's working as expected, unfortunately it's not a machine I can use regularly so will need to try and figure out what the issue is on my main computer.
I've seen many people recommend removing Blender add-ins before updating them.

Thanks, I must be doing something wrong.... I still have no result of a hatch.
I think the LaterSetName in the type, needs to have 'brick' in it.
Yes, this seems like an inconsistent approach. Seem like it should always be ifcmaterial name setting the pattern.
@theoryshaw
Great succes!

how to arrange images in sheet
I would also like to know, can't find it in that yt clip.
Looking very promising so far, is it possible to already make custom defined hatches? Or add the hatches to the predefined demo library?
And how to switch back to 'normal' layout? with the blender grid showing again etc.

clip here...
but it doesn't work for me when i save in inkscape.
btw, if you want bb to open inkscape by default...

not following you here.
I thought the following video would work, to create another pattern but BB, doesn't seem to recognize it.
Anyone have any ideas?

See this discussion on rearranging drawings. (There are two layouts, one where they are linked and you can rearrange them and the finished one)

I deleted the sheets and drawings, but the standard Blender grid is gone
How to enable this grid again? Sorry, seems to be a very basic question... but googling gave me all Blender 2.8 results out of date.
It's probably extremely easy, but can't find the button to disable/enable show/hide a grid :-(
@Coen Go to vieport overlays and check the floor option:

Thank you!

you're right.

Making some good progress with the new documentation tools in BB but have a few questions which I think make sense to consolidate in one post: -
-
Adding more than a single door/window to a wall type doesn't auto add another boolean, Dion's demo seemed to add booleans for each additional object added. See attached.
-
Best way to remove tessellation from meshes in plan and elevation views, currently using limited dissolve, not sure if this is best practise?
-
Is there a way to exclude geometry from a specific plan view? Yhe first floor view on the attached shows a pitched roof cut with one of the standard materials applied, ideally this would be hidden from view or displayed with a style which has different styles for cut geometry and background geometry.
For context this is a personal project I'm trying to build our in BB for some renovations works, so low risk and perfect testing this as a workflow.
Thanks!
Update to point three; there is an 'exclude' function in the property sets where you can filter objects per view, does anyone know if a list of ifctypes can be inserted here? I've comma separating but no joy.
Also have an issue where I removed a drawing from the ifc file but it is still listed under the sheets and can't be deleted. This is the error, any thoughts?
Yes, > @ChubbyQuark said:

yes with |...

Great, thanks. Looking at the link it looks like its possible to also exclude all items from a storey using the GUID? Im not at the computer right now but will test it later.
Ive also mangaed to fix the ifc file by opening in text editor and deleting the rougue drawing manually. Not sure if this is best practise but it was the only way to get the file working again.

i think this is a bug, would issue bug report here.

yes, i think it is. I think there's a roadmap to improve the 'tesselation of drawings'.

Hi, I'm trying to generate some drawings with the latest version of the add-on but annotation text is missing in the viewport, display ok when the drawing is printed.
Encountered this issue as well, tried the different things suggested, still no fix.
Fillet still bugging out with the CAD tool when working with lines.
I'm aware this is on the radar, just reporting.
Suggestion:
A prominent "Edit IFC" toggle somewhere that only allows you to create ifc elements or edit existing ones rather than regular blender objects, when switched on. When off, you can create or edit only regular blender objects. This way, if switched off, you can create objects in Blender that would not be part of your IFC project's hierarchy, and when switched on, you will only be able to work on objects included in your IFC heirarchy / work within the IFC paradigm.
I don't know if this will have intended consequences, but it will help users consciously work in 'IFC mode' when they need to, ensuring all their objects are IFC elements, unless they consiously choose not to, in which case, they can still manually assign them if they later decide to.
Also, not sure if this should be left till later, if at all, but at this stage, just a thought.

Agreed and consider adding something to the UI to remind me in am in the IFC edit mode, may be a graphic, icon or word preferably in a really bright colour
Hey everyone,
Would anyone happen to know how to get the door tag to show like Dion has used here:
@ around 29:00
I've got the text related to the door, the text is set as a 'door tag' et al in the preview
but it's not reflecting when I print to svg:
Here's an IFC door tag test file that has the issue if anyone understands:
I've had a bunch of questions which in hindsight should have been part of this conversation so I'm just linking them here:
