Laborious IFC import

Out of category

Hello.
A design office provided me with an IFC file.
I'd like to open it in SW 2023.

When I try to import it I have at least 100x the following window:

so I click OK over and over again, until it freezes, then I have no choice but to kill the SW process

If anyone has ever had these problems or if anyone has any tips and advice on importing IFCs, I'm all for it.
Thanks for reading.
Have a nice day.

The IFC format is far, far from being the most optimized format for SW.
It's a point cloud format, with a lot of flaws and very difficult to use in SW afterwards.

  • If you can ask for another format preferably with Parasolid, then Step 214, then Sat, then IGES
  • Otherwise tried with 3D Interconnect enabled or disabled in the import options (it works better with one or the other of the options sometimes)

For the message of no default models, go to the SW system settings and set a default part and assembly model:

For the rest, IFC import and laborious with SW, it's a pleonasm, generally valid with everything BIM by the way.
