Dialux 4
Elia Khensamphanh
I am trying to import a model from Revit to DiaLux evo 8.1. I searched some ways to do that in internet and i found that i should use IFC File. The problem occurs after exporting the file from Revit as IFC and import it to the dialux , the problem is some Rooms created on the dialux and some rooms in the same file in the same level don't created.
For example : if i have a level with 20 Rooms, 15 Rooms will be created and appear in the dialux taking names from Room 1 to Room 15 , and the remaining five don't appear and the dialux dosn't sense of them .
Dialux Evo can only read IFC 2x3 for now, and cannot handle all entities. You should try and experimenting with different IFC2x3 export settings. I've tried it with the 2x3 coordination review 2.0 and got the same result. Maybe if you create a custom ifc export setup with spaces set to 2nd level it will work.
I'm also doing some investigation on dialux IFC importing and I found out that dialux is not really taking the information from the IFC file but rather calculating the spaces itself. At least that is the only way to explain what I got in the picture: 3 apartments, one space each, using non-room bounding walls, and it converted into 26 spaces, one per division in apartment.
If you guys ever had a solid successful experience, could you share with me? i have done it once like a year ago and now I cannot do it again. I think there are settings that you can choose while you export from revit.
