[IFC-Viewer] Some IFC-Viewer do not support IfcCsgSolid with Cylinder and Cone. Why?

  1. M

    So there is this ifc file from bSI https://github.com/buildingSMART/Sample-Test-Files/blob/master/IFC%204.0/BuildingSMARTSpec/geographic-referencing.ifc

    Here is this file opened in XBim Xplorer:

    Also those IFC-Viewer could open it:

    • FreeCAD

    • BlenderBIM

    • BIMCollabZoom

    • CAD Allplan

    Those that could not open it:

    • Solibri

    • BIMVison

    • Dalux

    • ACC

    • Navisworks Manage

    I am not sure what the problem is, even if the ifc entity exits since before IFC2X3. Here below links to the IFC2X3 documentation.

    IfcCsgSolid

    https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC2x3/TC1/HTML/ifcgeometricmodelresource/lexical/ifccsgsolid.htm

    IfcRightCircularCylinder

    https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC2x3/TC1/HTML/ifcgeometricmodelresource/lexical/ifcrightcircularcylinder.htm 

    IfcRightCircularCone

    https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC2x3/TC1/HTML/ifcgeometricmodelresource/lexical/ifcrightcircularcone.htm

    Is there still a way to see it in all the ifc-viewer?

    I can confirm the above ... Great, since we do have a standard building samart example file, all software should be able to parse it. I will get in touch with support of Solibri and BIMVision and Dalux. I will give feedback.

    Furthermore I will try on ArchiCAD.
