I need to convert 100s of family files to IFC which is tedious doing manually. I don’t see any automated solution on that link too. Thanks anyway @Marcel_Rijsmus

so you need a clean revit project file, place the family in there, export to IFC, delete the family and place the next and repeat this proces
i cannot test this (no Revit)

It doesn’t seem possible to export IFC from families.
The export option is grayed out in the family interface.
The error with the Export IFC node is “Exception: This Document is not a project document.”

In this case, the desired family file is loaded into the project file and the document .rvt project file is used here but problem remains unchanged!.

you are feeding the filename input with the string {3D}
i dont think you can create a file with a name like that

If you’re working in the Revit file, use the Export IFC node. It’s simpler

Export%20IFC

Thank you for your help and
time both of you @Alban_de_Chasteigner , @Marcel_Rijsmus

This has nothing to do with the custom node but with the Revit IFC exporter engine.
This is the best I can do with the IFC exporter in Revit :

Hi,

I want to Batch export the Revit project file (.RVT) to IFC. I tried as per the screenshots. But I couldn’t find these 2 nodes.

  1. Get 3D views from document.
  2. Export IFC from document.

Please guide me on which package I need to download.

Hi,
You will find these nodes in the Genius Loci package.
Cheers,
