after install/update IFC Exporter addins, you should have this in the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins directory

Hey Cyril,
yes, sorry, I checked it today once again and realised that for our 2024 version it uses the 2023 bundle.
In the code the version ( variable {1} ) thus points to a directory of a version 2024, not 2023.
Replacing the code to
ifc_bundle_path = “{0}\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\IFC 2023.bundle\Contents\2023”
solved the first issue. Another error occours:
but hey, one step closer!
try to replace
#Define the of a 3d view to export
exportViewId = None
by
#Define the of a 3d view to export
exportViewId = ElementId.InvalidElementId
I update my code here

you can simply adapt the 2nd python script with inputs (no need for a 3rd python script)

It works, thanks alot!
Hello.The method used my @c.poupin works for a single view export with specific IFC configuration but it does not work when I try it with a list in the views Port (I would like to batch export multiple views with a specific IFC export configurations and the Genius Loci node does not allow it). Would someone have an idea of how I could modify the second script (answer above) for working with multiple 3D view export?
The actual node give me the error "
Thank you
I am 99% sure that Genuis Loci’s node does allow for multiple views. As i am using it for multiple views.
Judging from the error i assume your input is incorrect, Can you show the export node and everything that is going into the node?
Thank you for answering. yes Loci node allows multiple view export but does not allow to get a specific revit IFC Export configurations. I finally succeeded modifying the code like this.

Hi, I had a similar problem as @Chrissi with the first Python script.
I switched to CPython3, pasted the latest script, and it worked.
However, the second Python script is causing an issue. I’ve already switched to CPython3 and pasted the latest script, but it’s giving me an error (see screenshot).

Hello,
It turns out the issue was with the inputs. I was using a @Garbage_Collector dyn file, and it seems there might have been some incorrect labeling, which caused me to feed the script the wrong data. So yes, the problem was due to incorrect inputs.
With the help of ChatGPT, I was able to fix it and even improve the script for my needs. I needed it to handle two different IFC configurations: one for exporting the architectural model with rooms and another for the structural and interior elements without rooms.
Now, the script works great—I’ve set it up to use a list of views, file names, and IFC configurations, and everything is running smoothly.
I’m sharing the script here in case you’d like to take a look or give me some feedback.
