installing blenderbim problem

  1. M by Magnus952 on 12 Oct 2023, edited 13 Oct 2023 #

    Hello.

    I have installed blender 3.6.4.

    Then i want to install the blenderbim add on. Im currently trying to install blenderbim 231012.

    When i try to install it, im not getting the import-export blenderbim. I only get system:blenderbim.

    Have anyone got the same issue?

    I think this is indented, and has been changed awhile ago.

    With #NativeIFC, it's no longer a import/export process--as BB is writing/reading directly to the IFC file.

    Thus, BB now opens and saves to an IFC file...

    Seeing "System: BlenderBIM" is normal. It was changed in the last release. It is also normal not to see anything in your import/export settings. You can just open / save IFCs:

    You're probably looking at pictures / video tutorials that are outdated (and yes, our official documentation tutorial is outdated and we need to update it!)

    It looks like your add-on is not enabled. Can you check that it is enabled in the preferences > add-ons tab?
