What to do when Revit closes when exporting to IFC?


Last modified on: 12 oktober 2023

Problem:

As soon as File -> Export ->'IFC' is selected Revit closes without any (error)message.


Cause:

The exact cause is still unknown. 


Solution:

To solve this problem you will need to disable all existing add-ins temporary.

  1. Close Revit.
  2. Move the files from within these folders to another location (for example, to your desktop)
    • C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\20XX (Choose the correct Revit version)
    • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\20XX (Choose the correct Revit version)
  3. Start Revit.
    The IFC-export should work like it is supposed to.
  4. Close Revit.
  5. Move the files from the temporary location to the original location.
  6. Start Revit.
    The IFC-export should keep on working.
