Issue with linking IFC model to existing project in BlenderBIM

   Greetings everyone,

   I'm having some trouble adding a new model to my existing project. The IFC model is also a blenderBIM project and still doesn't work. I tried following this solution and this solution and couldn't get it to work. It returns the error

   
   Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
   
     File "C:\Users\nick\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.1\scripts\addons\blenderbim\bim\module\project\operator.py", line 947, in execute
   
       self.link_ifc()
   
     File "C:\Users\nick\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.1\scripts\addons\blenderbim\bim\module\project\operator.py", line 989, in link_ifc
   
       self.link_blend(blend_filepath)
   
     File "C:\Users\nick\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.1\scripts\addons\blenderbim\bim\module\project\operator.py", line 951, in link_blend
   
       with bpy.data.libraries.load(filepath, link=True) as (data_from, data_to):
   
   OSError: load: C:\PATH\FILENAME.ifc.cache.blend failed to open blend file
   

   Thank you in advance for any help in this matter.

   Can you 1) upgrade to the latest unstable BlenderBIM Add-on version, and 2) if it still persists, try join https://osarch.org/chat and we can do a screenshare to debug :)

   I kept on searching after I made this post and apparently they bug was related to the fact that I had the IFC files in a server and the blender files in my pc. Once I moved everything to the same folder in my pc it worked. Thanks for the help though, really appreciated.

   I suspect that the latest unstable version already has that bug fixed. I think @theoryshaw had reported something similar with having the model on different drives.
