Hi there,
I had an issue with importing an .ifc -file. Unfortunately I couldn’t import the the ifc walls. Why is this?
I tried severel ifc-viewers and they all display the walls. It is a ifc 2x3 format
Perhaps someone can help me, or fix the problem
thanks

The zipped file (inside Wiedl Dach-.ifc: Wiedl Dach-.zip (136.0 KB)
I’ve tried your ifc and i have the same issue …
maybe a problem with Bauwerk ifc export ?
do you have the Sketchup format to test it ?

Hey djoseph, thank you for your response…,
the .ifc format is exported out of dietrichs software. Every ifc-viewer I tested was able to display the walls. I tested bim vision (bimvision.eu), solibri (www.solibri.com). All visible. Now I tested trimble connect and it was not able to display the walls too. I think its a sketchup / trimble thing…
Here is my skp file: Wiedl Dach-.skp (4.7 MB)
I wonder what BIMSight would show. It is Trimble’s free IFC viewer. We once had similar problems with it not showing something that was no problem for Solibri.
Hi there ! and Hi Annsi !
Bimsight is no more supported by trimble since 01/01/2020 … now it’s Trimble connect (web, desktop, inside Tekla, Inside SU … ) 
I’ve tried to ope it with TEKLA and … no more Chance … bat ghosted box appears (?) … probably at the origine of your wall … strange
Hi!
Now I used the FZKViewer from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (https://www.iai.kit.edu/english/1302.php) and opened the file. The following Structure is shown while opening the file:
… Dalux Bim Viewer displayes everything too.
thanks for your link to FZKViewer … the ability to export seems cool
another viewer i know is xBIM ( https://github.com/xBimTeam/XbimEssentials ) … it’s openSource
just one more note, do you have note that the 15 ifcWallStandardCase were imported in your initial *.ifc ?
I saw the import results in SU, the 15 IfcWallStandardCase-Walls are listed, but they are not showed in the outliner as they are when I import the .dxf twin (produced over FZkViewer)
The same for me …
Strange, i’ve made several test, with different ifc class (beam, roof, column, …) and without ifc class …
and i’ve tried to convert an ifc project to
thanks for your link … and your problem 
if you find why some elements of your project are OK an the others NOT (beams, …) … i’m interested to know it
have you tried with Collade format ? it didn’t work for me …
In The FZK viewer collada export ist not possible for me too. No output. I think it is unsupported…
in general i hope the ifc import for sketchup will be improved in further versions considering workflow aspects…
how do you install the xbim from github?
so … wait and see
i’m back with XBimExplorer direct link to precompiled installer

have a nice day !
Thanks 4 sharing the SBimExplorer 
I just had a look at the ifc-import thing at this forum, and found out that the problem with importing walls is existing quite a while…
…they say trimble is the one to put the finger on…-)
it would give me pleasure if there was the possiblity to strike in a new path towards solving, rather than persisting of this issue… sorry 4 my bad english
…lift your head up high…
