blenderBIM: import model, export only one level

1. B by BobvanderHall on 14 Feb 2023, edited 14 Feb 2023 #

   Hi guys,

   Im trying blenderBIM for the first time.

   I loaded my IFC model and now i am trying to export only level 0.

   deleting other levels aparently is too big of an operation, because blender crashes (I have pretty good pc)

   I am trying to find an 'export only visible in view' or 'export only selected elements'.

   Somewhere I read that this was an option, but i dont have any options when i click file -> export -> IFC.

   Could anyone help me with this?

   Kind regards,

   Bob

   For this type of task it is recommended to use IfcPatch: https://blenderbim.org/docs-python/ifcpatch.html

   Note that Blender is not an import / export despite the misleading menu items (maybe we should remove those menu items). We load and save, so even if you partially load a model, the entire model is still there.
