not able to save updated shape representation for IfcPlate

  1. A

    I've created an IfcPlate element from the IfcPlateType with material layer set. The IfcPlate added has a default size which I've edited by going to the edit mode and moving the edges. I've saved this file. But, on reopening the ifc file, IfcPlate element still falls back to the original default size.

    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    Material layer sets are parametric and override manual editing. Either use the parametric controls of a layer set or don't use it and use a mesh instead.

    @Moult that works well. could we also have the edit profile and save profile option like we have in the IfcSlabType

    Yes that feature will come.

    Yeah, there's some weird behaviors with your test file, and a new one i've setup...

    For those object's i've rotated, the placement unexpectedly changes when i change the layer thickness...

    In the meantime, is it possible to manually edit the vertices?

    Didn't seem to work on my end. I 'updated representation' too.

    you are absolutely right, i have tried a test.ifc with multiple ifcplate instances. i found the following behaviour

    • applying blender transformation shifts the object origin to world origin - this is same as in your test video

    • if transformation is not applied, then there is no shift

    • changing the thickness in material layer set of the type object not only changes the instances' thickness, but this also shifts the instance's origin along the Z-axis by that length. i guess this is a bug
