Deleting many objects takes forever

1. S by ShellNotClosed on 20 Dec 2024, edited 21 Dec 2024 #

   So I have an Architectural model with around 20k elements and I want to delete everything but the concrete shell. Selecting 1000 objects and doing the ifcdelete command takes forever to compute (like 10mins+). Is there a fast way to do this?

   Thanks!

   you can try to use a patch (instead of IfcWall use the class you need to export/keep)

   

   please advise

   Unfortunately, deleting stuff enmass is slow.

   Considering you only need one thing, could you link the file, and bring in the geometry?
